On and off and 

on and off 

the light switched places 

with the shadow 

and we lost power 



sweet and sour 

sweet and sour 

turns out “he loves me not” 

is the last petal 

on the flower 



hot and cold and 

hot and cold 

the water drops are 

falling from the tap 

out of synch 



open close and 

open close 

I locked the doors 

and shut my eyes 

but can’t make you leave 

my head 



let go slow down you’re holding fast 

let go move on you’re holding still 



close and far and 

close and far 

the details magnified 

we lost sight 

of the bigger picture 



win and lose and 

win and lose 

the race we ran 

repeats again 

but the record’s broken 



plus and minus 

plus and minus 

reciprocals 

became mixed fractions 

and we divided 



happy sad and 

happy sad 

sometimes good things 

happen to us 

disguising themselves 

as bad 



let go slow down you’re holding fast 

let go move on you’re holding still 



remember the best 

forgive and forget the rest 



let go slow down you’re holding fast 

let go move on you’re holding still
