Third side of the moon

Am I the shade or a shadow? Well, I can't really tell
And I still cannot remember if your eyes were blue or green or brown
I wish I'd paid attention to every word that you'd ever said
But you always spoke in a whisper, and I wasn't good at listening
Well, I can't remember if your eyes were blue or green or red
Well, you always spoke in a whisper, I ain't so good at listening

Dum-da, da-da-da-da-dum, da-da-dum-da, da-da-da, dum, oh
Dum-da, da-da-dum-dum, da-da-dum-da, da-da-da, dum, oh
Dum-da, da-da-da-da-dum, da-da-dum-da, da-da-da, dum, oh
Dum-da, da-da-dum-dum, da-da-dum-da, da-da-da, dum, oh

Harsh words from my mother, but it turned out they were nice
She said, "If you continu? down this path, you're not the only one who di?s"
A few weeks later, I was told that you were gone
Well, I still just can't remember if your eyes were green or brown or blonde

Dum-da, da-da-da-da-dum, da-da-dum-da, da-da-da, dum, oh
Dum-da, da-da-dum-dum, da-da-dum-da, da-da-da, dum, oh
Dum-da, da-da-da-da-dum, da-da-dum-da, da-da-da, dum, oh
Dum-da, da-da-dum-dum, da-da-dum-da, da-da-da, dum, oh

I wish I'd paid attention to every word that you ever said
But you spoke in a whisper, and I'm not in your head
Well, I can't remember if your eyes were bleen or glue or red
But you always spoke in a whisper and I ain't so good at listening

Dum-da, da-da-da-da-dum, da-da-dum-da, da-da-da, dum, oh
Dum-da, da-da-dum-dum, da-da-dum-da, da-da-da, dum, oh
Dum-da, da-da-da-da-dum, da-da-dum-da, da-da-da, dum, oh
Dum-da, da-da-dum-dum, da-da-dum-da, da-da-da, dum, oh

A few days later, they found you frozen in your car
Well, the last time you were seen leaving the YMCA from the showers
Am I the shade or a shadow? Well, I can't really tell
And I still just can't remember if your eyes were even there at all

Dum-da, da-da-da-da-dum, da-da-dum-da, da-da-da, dum, oh
Dum-da, da-da-dum-dum, da-da-dum-da, da-da-da, dum, oh
Dum-da, da-da-da-da-dum, da-da-dum-da, da-da-da, dum, oh
Dum-da, da-da-dum-dum, da-da-dum-da, da-da-da, dum, oh

Yeah, things were shaky, as I know they often are
But after seven years together, all I remember is the back of the police car
Well, things get crazy shaky sometimes, way too fucked up
If I'd been in my right mind, I would've called the whole thing off
My heart pumped faster than could possibly be right
I read in a magazine the day before you only get so many thumps in your whole life

I can't remember if your eyes were green or brown or red
'Cause you always spoke in a whisper and I ain't so good at listenin'
Yeah, you always spoke in a whisper, and I ain't so good at listenin'
