Black and White Lyrics

Could be clear black and white
Make a decision
Got a need inside and I don't know why
It's a strong feeling that grows and grows

One day - my life is out the door
Next day - you show me what it's for
One day - I think I know myself
Next day - you leave me on the shelf

New moment goes like this
Never forbidden
There's nothing to stop
The thief on time, stealing
The hours that keep you away

It rushes through my veins
Straight to my head
My mind is a planet
For you to roam

This is only just the start
It's the beginning
There's nothing to stop
The thief of time
Stealing the hours
That keep you away
One day - my life is out the door
Next day - you show me what it's for
One day - I think I know myself
Next day - you leave me on the shelf

In this house I call home
Living together
Got a need inside
And I don't know why
It's a strong
Feeling and it grows and grows

One day - my life is out the door
Next day - you show me what it's for
One day - I think I know myself
Next day - you leave me on the shelf

This is only just the start
It's the beginning

New moment goes like this
Never forbidden

Could be clear black and white
Make a decision

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
