greens and blues

Hi,

Could anyone please tell me what "greens and blues" means in the following song lyrics?

This is from a Mr. Big's song called "To Be With You".

I'm the one who wants to be with you
Deep inside I hope you feel it too
Waited on a line of greens and blues
Just to be the next to be with you

No idea. I don't think it's idiomatic. But if he's waiting to be the next one, greens and blues can be jealousy and sadness.

green with envy is an idiomatic expression
I'm blue = I'm sad
