Lyrics
He came to me in early spring
He appeared in my life during the beginning of spring.
And in a season taught me everything
During that season, he imparted valuable lessons to me.
21 years wiser than the teenage love I'd seen
He was 21 years older, providing a more mature perspective than my previous teenage love experiences.
Maybe that was why he called me little green
The term "little green" may suggest innocence or youthfulness, perhaps contrasting with his wisdom.
Like rising light bleeds through a broken blind
Similar to light breaking through a broken blind, he guided me through challenges.
He helped me find my way with golden lines
His guidance was akin to golden lines, helping me navigate life's journey.
I recognised his language
I understood the unique way he communicated.
And though it seemed foreign
His language seemed unfamiliar at first.
His words stayed with me
Despite its foreign nature, his words left a lasting impact on me.
Right through the autumn
His words resonated with me throughout the autumn season.
And beyond
His influence extended beyond a specific time frame.
And beyond
Reiterating the enduring impact of his teachings.
He drowned out all the voices in the crowd
His wisdom drowned out the conflicting voices in the crowd.
By speaking words of wisdom
He spoke words of wisdom that silenced any doubts I had.
He silenced every doubt
His guidance provided room for the wild, authentic part of myself to breathe.
And the wild self inside of me
Refers to the untamed, true self within.
Was given time and space to breathe
Under his influence, I had the freedom to grow and express myself.
He told me "be a wildflower
He advised me to be like a wildflower, resilient amidst challenges.
Grow amongst the roses and thorns
Suggested thriving amid both beauty (roses) and difficulties (thorns).
Be brave my love
Encouraged courage in facing life's challenges.
Cause we're not here for long

And you can't live a life that you don't love

Yeah you can't live a life that you don't love"

He left my bed in late July
He departed from my life in late July.
He said you don't have to answer
He suggested taking time to reflect before providing answers.
Until you've questioned why
Reflecting on the profound impact others can have on self-discovery.
It's crazy how somebody else
Expressing amazement at how someone else can help in finding one's true identity.
Can really help you find yourself
Reiterating the idea that his guidance led to self-discovery.
He told me "be a wildflower
