Black and White Kisses
I followed that gold line
And I got out just in time
You chose to stay behind
But we both new
It was too late for you
And memories kept hounding me
Around sharp corners
Of labyrinth walls
Surrounded
Then swallowed me
The second I stood still
I remembered you told me
How things always suck
When you’re stuck
Taking orders from others
But man
You sure kept quiet
When it came to being alone

Is it too late for me?
Too late for me
For black and white kisses
Too late for me
To want something here
For more than just myself
To give it all up
For anyone else
For them laugh, smile or breath
Is it too late for me?
Is it too late?
Is it too late
For black and white kisses?

Back I went to see the grave
Of the resolutions
That passed me by
I’d run so far and for so long a time
But it was you that was finally free
You were in every frame
Of every film that I ever cut
In each blessed kiss
On that reel you left behind
In everything that I forgot
In these swelling eyes
You always said
I was too sentimental,
But what I really wonder
Is if there is anything
Left to recall

Is it too late for me?
Too late for me
For black and white kisses
Too late for me

To want something here
For more than just myself
To give it all up
For anyone else
For them sweat, cry or bleed,
Is it too late for me?
Is it too late?
Is it too late
For black and white kisses?
