On the steps of the theatre in the streets of London, they saw each other.
One in a red coat the other with splattered glasses from the downpour
Their eyes met and the memories of long ago nights filled their heads.
The one with the red coat offers a smile both friendly and in farewell
The one with the glasses offers only a nod and heads through the doors
A day later that coat is missing, along with its owner never to be seen again
Two days later the coat reappears with only a pair of glasses in its pocket.

Does it feel right that it ended
Or as if it was just wasted?
Will another chance come again
Or was that the last time it would happen?

Are you going to ask for a sign
Or just sit back and resign?
Are you going to keep trying
Or **** it in cause its already hurting?

Why can't there be a middle ground?
...Because it makes things vague
Why can't there be compromise?
...Because its just gonna complicate

Unsure, undecided, unmotivated, un...
Discouraged, distracted, disarrayed, dis...
Vindicated, decided, inspired...
Encouraged, focused, collected...
Black or white, make a decision...

If you truly want to make it right
Find a way to put things back in the light
Just keep trying even if it takes every night
It could get better, it just might...
