I don't think that passenger seat
Has ever looked this good to me
He tells me about his night
And I count the colors in his eyes

He'd never fall in love
He swears, as he runs his fingers through his hair
I'm laughing 'cause I hope he's wrong
And I don't think it ever crossed his mind
He tells a joke, I fake a smile
That I know all his favorite songs

And I could tell you
His favorite color's green
He loves to argue
Born on the seventeenth
His sister's beautiful
He has his father's eyes
And if you ask me if I love him..
I'd lie

He looks around the room
Innocently overlooks the truth
Shouldn't a light go on
Doesn't he know that I've had him memorized for so long

He sees everything in black and white
Never let nobody see him cry
I don't let nobody see me wishing he was mine

I could tell you
His favorite color's green
He loves to argue
Born on the seventeenth
His sister's beautiful
He has his father's eyes
And if you ask me if I love him..
I'd lie

He stands there, then walks away
My God, if I could only say
I'm holding every breath for you

He'd never tell you, but he can play guitar
I think he can see through everything but my heart
First thought when I wake up is
My God, he's beautiful
So I put on my make-up and pray for a miracle

Yes I could tell you
His favorite color's green
He loves to argue
Oh, and it kills me
His sister's beautiful
He has his father's eyes
And if you ask me if I love him..
If you ask me if I love him..
I'd lie

    General Comment:I could tell you his favorite color's green
    He hates to argue
    Born on the 13
    His sister-in-law's beautiful
    He has his father's eyes
    and If you ask me if I love him
    I'd Lie

    General Comment:And I could tell you
    His favorite colors white
    He avoids arguements
    Born on the twenty-fifth
    His sister's beautiful
    He has his father's eyes
    And if you ask me if I love him..
    I'd die.

    General Comment:and I could tell you,
    his favorite color's (I'm not so sure but I think it's) blue
    he hates to argue
    born on 24th
    his sister is, eh he doesn't have any
    he has his mother's eyes
    if you asked me if I loved him,
    I'd lie!

    My Interpretation:Basically, she's really good friends with this guy. She knows all about him and is with him all the time. They're really close friends.
    But
    She loves him. She'd never tell though, because it could ruin their friendship.

    My exact situation right now.........

    General Comment:Yes I could tell you
    His favorite color's blue
    He loves to argue
    He can see right through you
    His mother's beautiful
    He has his father's eyes
    But if you asked me if I loved him
    I would lie.

    General Comment:I think that this song is about being completely in love with someone close you to like your best friend or something and you know everything about them but they don't know you like them or they don't feel the same way. So if someone asks you if you like them...you lie.

    General Comment:I think I can relate to the exact opposite of this song,

    His favorite color's Purple
    He hates to argue
    Born on the 4th
    His sisters, eh, ok
    He has his mother's eyes

    And the only part i CAN relate to:
    If you ask me if I loved him, I'd lie.


    Too bad I didn't tell the truth a long time ago :(
