Was it June or December? I can’t remember
The steps that lead to your surrender
A black line on a white page
An open window, a courageous way
To escape
And you believe that this changes everything
I know that this means nothing
Was it spring or the fall? I don’t recall
What you said to me at all
A white line on a black road
An intersection, an explosive state
Of grace
And you believe that this changes everything
I know that this means nothing
Twenty-one struck you like a bullet from a gun
Some surprise did you surmise that you
Were the only one?
Was it raining? Was there thunder? If you stop and wonder
Did something change as it went under?
A white flag on a black day
A cold confession, an outrageous claim
To fame
And you believe that this changes everything
I know that this means nothing
