    This song is about finding and honoring your passions/peace in a society that values you based on your productivity. Making music with my friends is one of the most fulfilling things in my life and I am so grateful to be able to do so! I hope this song can help you find some peace today

    I played this for my ex on our third date. He kissed me and said "now we'll never be able to hear this song the same way again." Yesterday I found out that he got back together with his ex-girlfriend without breaking up with me or even talking to me at all first. Just left me alone in the dark.
    But he was wrong. He can't ruin this song for me. It's still the sound of pure, simple, beautiful joy.

    GREEN TEA ICE CREAM LYRICS:
    (Ooh)
    [Verse 1]
    It’s easy to feel like you don’t matter
    When you are (you are) what you make
    And nothing more
    Do you even know what you’re working toward?
    Slow Down
    You’re burning out
    At the end of your wick now
    [Pre Chorus]
    Nine to five you’re running holes
    Through your sneakers through your soul
    Should be busy living life
    But you just haven’t got the time
    Gum and pennies on the street
    Close my eyes to see my peace
    Oh when it gets to be too much
    I find myself in what I love
    [Chorus]
    When I’m by the sea
    Sweatshirts, sweatpants
    White noise, blue jeans
    Writing letters to old friends
    Black cats and tender moments
    Cherries in the spring
    Long walks, Long nights
    Green tea ice cream
    It’s all
    So good, so good, so good to me
    So good, so good, so good to me
    [Verse 2]
    It’s easy to fall into dull patterns
    When your mind is clouds of grey
    Oh lately all my thoughts are marked with questions
    Like how can I
    (How do I manage expectations?)
    While I
    (While I manifest my greatness?)
    Can you tell me
    (Just how long will I be waiting?)
    [Pre Chorus]
    Even trees and flowers know
    Weather seasons 'for you grow
    You should be living out your dreams
    Instead you’re tearing at the seams
    Lights and sirens in the dark
    Plug my ears to hear my heart
    Oh when it gets to be too much
    I find myself in what I love
    [Chorus]
    When I’m by the sea
    Sweatshirts, sweatpants
    White noise, blue jeans
    Writing letters to old friends
    Black cats and tender moments
    Cherries in the spring
    Long walks, Long nights
    Green tea ice cream
    It’s all
    So good, so good, so good to me

      Glad someone did this. By the way, isn't it "burning holes" rather than "running holes"?
