The Black And The White

The Black And The White Lyrics

Well, it's five of nine and I'm over you
I'm gonna do whatever this empty bottle tells me to
And I'm so excited that I feel no pain
Finally everything's right in place with my heart again
And there no ends I can't see
There's nothing but the summer in me

Sing, hey la de day
I come out tonight
I look to get lost in the black and the white

Put the colors in me
Remembering when
I start looking over my shoulder again
Over your shoulder
And it's a holiday weekend, only twelve twenty-five
I walk down to this neighborhood place and I'm feeling alive
And it's trapped in the alley and the lighting is fair
And the bartender's laughing with strangers
I reach from the wall and I pull up a chair
Singing "luck be a lady, this is where I belong"
And I know that you're somewhere singing along

Sing, hey la de day
I come out tonight
I look to get lost in the black and the white

Put the colors in me
Remembering when
I start looking over my shoulder again
Over your shoulder

And there once was a dozen now there's only a few
And it's just past one thirty and I'm over you
And there in across town shadows I steal away
I let a gin shot of whiskey take a good man back to his yesterdays
And it starts me on thinking that you should have stayed
And I think about sleeping tonight in the bed that you made

Sing, hey la de day
I come out tonight
I look to get lost in the black and the white

Put the colors in me
Remembering when
I start looking over my shoulder again
Over your shoulder
