On and off and
on and off
the light switched places
with the shadow
and we lost power
sweet and sour
sweet and sour
turns out “he loves me not”
is the last petal
on the flower
hot and cold and
hot and cold
the water drops are
falling from the tap
out of synch
open close and
open close
I locked the doors
and shut my eyes
but can't make you leave
my head
let go slow down you're holding fast
let go move on you're holding still
close and far and
close and far
the details magnified
we lost sight
of the bigger picture
win and lose and
win and lose
the race we ran
repeats again
but the record's broken
plus and minus
plus and minus
reciprocals
became mixed fractions
and we divided
happy sad and
happy sad
sometimes good things
happen to us
disguising themselves
as bad
let go slow down you're holding fast
let go move on you're holding still
remember the best
forgive and forget the rest
let go slow down you're holding fast
let go move on you're holding still
