Lyrics
OH Ohio seems like a dream to me now
Reflecting on Ohio as a distant and almost unreal memory.
News papers in an empty basket
Empty basket symbolizes a lack of substance or fulfillment.
And I know all we'll show
Awareness that everything will be revealed or exposed.
I wrote your name upon the paper bag
Personalizing an object (paper bag) with a loved one's name.
Round today, green tomorrow
Time passing, with today represented as green and tomorrow uncertain.
Green doesn't matter
Suggesting the insignificance of the color green.
Yeah green doesn't matter
Reiteration that the color green is not important.
And I hear that the word is up
Awareness of information circulating, possibly gossip.
And a dog's gotta do what a dog's gotta do
Reference to the instinctual actions of a dog.
And green doesn't matter
Reemphasizing the unimportance of the color green.
Yeah green just doesn't matter
Stressing the lack of significance of green, especially when feeling down.
When you're blue
Acknowledging that green (symbolic of positivity) doesn't matter in times of sadness.
Busting my chops
Struggling or working hard, possibly facing challenges.
Green fields into rocks
Transformation of green fields into rocks, representing a negative change.
Beyond the fruited plain
Referencing the American landscape but with a sense of desolation.
Where there grows no fruit of the game
Highlighting the absence of success or positive outcomes.
And I've gotten your holding inside my head, inside my head
Thoughts or memories persisting in the mind.
Green doesn't matter
Reiterating the insignificance of the color green.
Green doesn't matter
Emphasizing again that green has little importance.
Yeah green doesn't matter much
Stating that green doesn't matter much.
Yeah green just doesn't matter much
Repeating the idea that green is not significant.
Green doesn't matter
Reemphasizing that green loses importance in moments of sadness.
When you're blue
Affirming that the color green is inconsequential when feeling blue.
