Thought that you were black and white
Thought I figured you out right
But it turns out, you are so much more like me
Thought you’d never come around
‘Cause you never made a sound
But it turns out you hid where I couldn’t see
Thought you couldn’t understand
But then you held my hand
And I recognized the tide turn in your eyes
Thought the look upon your face
Could have never been replaced
By something other than indifference or pride
But I saw a change, but I saw a change
You let go like I’ve never seen
At the speed of sound, I could not breathe
For once, you let your heart into your head
You let go like a rocketship
You said, “crash and burn, to hell with it”
You threw your hand in, I followed, you led
Yes, I know it’s not like that
But you can’t deny the fact
That you’re fascinated by the way I am
Yes, I know it’s not that way
And I can safely say
I’m alright if it does not happen again
‘Cause I saw a change, oh I saw a change
You let go like I’ve never seen
At the speed of sound, I could not breathe
For once, you let your heart into your head
You let go like a rocketship
You said, “crash and burn, to hell with it”
You threw your hand in, I followed, you led
Never thought you’d come forth
From your corner in your shadow
Boxed up, scared of expression
In fear of what could follow
Swallow your pride
And you come alive
You let go like I’ve never seen
At the speed of sound, I could not breathe
For once, you let your heart into your head
You let go like a rocketship
You said, “crash and burn, to hell with it”
You threw your hand in, I followed, you led
Thought that you were black and white
Thought I figured you out right
But it turns out, you are so much more like me
Thought I figured you out right
