Begging The Question

Black and white and overly dramatic

all the colored lights give the people headaches

never could keep inside the lines

i think there's symbolism there

i never was good with goodbyes

that's how i ended up here

half grown up and full of doubt

like poetry never read and rarely thought about

[Chorus:]

think about the days

when everything wasn't the same

and we appreciated snow that fell

and ourselves as much as someone else

it may be a long time gone,

but as long as we go on..

i'll remember crayon-scrawled cards

pasted with all cut out hearts

black and white and overly dramatic

all the colored lights give the people headaches

pulling eyelashes just to wish on them

for something fast and maybe something beyond that
