Black And White

BLACK AND WHITE - Written by Carroll Bryant

 

 

I see you running from something

Hiding in your shell in the dark

You’re reaching out to nothing

To keep you from falling apart

 

When yesterday claims your happiest ways

And nothing is quite what it seems

Just think of you and think of me

Together again

 

Everything with your heart deals in black and white

All the things that you choose dance in day or night

Everything that can bring the song that you sing from emotions you can’t hide

Stand before your eyes when they materialize in black and white

 

You’re so black and white

 

You say you’re learning and leaning

On someone who can bring you relief

I doubt it, what you’re claiming

The words you speak play like a thief

 

When yesterday breaks all the plans that you make

And nothing chases shadows away

Just think of you and think of me

Together again

 

Everything with your heart deals in black and white

All the things that you lose escape outside the light

Everything that can reign in your kingdom of shame will dominate the fight

Stand before your plight if to realize you’re so black and white

 

Monkey see and monkey do

This is so obviously true

There’s a whisper in your ear telling you

What to do

 

Monkey see and monkey do

This is so obviously you

There’s nothing I can prove

So you throw away originality

And the truth comes back too soon

 

I see you running from something

Hiding in your shell in the dark

You’re reaching out to nothing

To keep you from falling apart

When yesterday takes all the love you forsake

And throws it right in your face

Just think of you and think of me

Together again

 

Just think of you and think of me

Never to end

 

Everything with your heart deals in black and white

All the things that you choose dance in day or night

Everything that can bring the song that you sing from emotions you can’t hide

Stand before your eyes when they materialize in black and white

 

In black and white

Girl, you’re so black and white

Stand before my eyes and materialize in black and white

 

You’re so black and white
