“The Green And The Town” is the third-last track of AJR’s debut album, Living Room. Based on epic poem, Aeneid by Virgil, as confirmed by Adam, the song features “rolling hill imagery and over pirate-y style production.”
[Verse 1]
A year from now, we won't be pretty
A year from now, we won't be young
But we will live among the giants
Before the giants learn to run
[Bridge]
Now we are the blessed
Now we are the strong
Take my hand, and let me know
That it feels good
To feel at home
[Verse 2]
We would sail across the ocean
If cloudy skies should take our friends
And we will learn from the giants
Before the giants learn from them
[Bridge]
Now we are the blessed
Now we are the strong
Take my hand, and let me know
That it feels good
To feel at home
[Chorus]
What can I say
Without a say?
We've got a way to go
And what can I do
To get back to you
And help us to find a home
To search the Green and Town
[Verse 3]
A year from now
We won't be lovers
We'll just be suits and ties and shoes
And we will grow without our parents
Cause soon we will be giants too
[Bridge]
Now we are the blessed
Now we are the strong
Take my hand, and let me know
That it feels good
To feel at home
[Chorus]
What can I say
Without a say?
We've got a way to go
And what can I do
To get back to you
And help us to find a home
To search the Green and Town
[Outro]
I will search the green
And I will search the town
But I will never
Find a one like you
I will search the green
And I will search the town
But I will never
Find a one like you
I will search the green
And I will search the town
But I will never
Find a one like you
I will search the green
And I will search the town
But I will never
Find a one like you
I will search the green
And I will search the town
But I will never
Find a one like you
I will search the green
And I will search the town
But I will never
Find a one like you
I will search the green
And I will search the town
But I will never
Find a one like you
