Concrete,
rationale, mathematics
Oh, I recall you saying that
I had it
Perhaps just to encourage
and keep me at it
Well, it worked, I persevered,
now I'm an addict
I remember watching your hand
upon the off -white keys
Over all your calls,
I dare to stay with me
Following your finger,
I trace across every word
And here I am still,
trying to repeat what I've learned
A number so precise and so lean
And it's the odd ones
that have always meant more to me
The ritual it demands that I repeat
Every simple task obsessively
I remember watching in the
morning off white keys
All the hollow coins,
are they staying with me?
Following your finger,
trace across every word
And here I am still,
trying to repeat what I've learned
I let it slip from time to time
It's not a curse, darlin', it's not
Yes I let it slip from time to time
I hope you don't mind,
you don't mind
Hope you don't mind, you don't mind
Perhaps I'm not confusing
real life to song
I thought I knew the difference
but I was
Once there were boundaries,
but now they're gone
They pulled me in too deep,
now I just float along
I remember watching your hand
upon the off -white keys
And all the hard cords,
are they staying with me?
Following you here,
tracing across every word
And here I am still,
trying to repeat what I've
learned
And I let it slip from time to time
But it's not a threat, no, it's benign
Yes, I let it slip, times, times
I hope you don't mind,
you don't mind
You don't mind, you don't mind you
