Black & White Lyrics

Adam Schwartz Black & White

By Adam Schwartz

Verse 1:
I wake up there and I'm so scared; I've never been here
And in this chair I sit and stare, waiting full of fear
Out of my stall and down the hall, sitting in the light,
I see some keys, people to please, so I push with all my might.

Chorus:
Black and white (echo: black and white)
Yeah those keys are black and white (echo: black and white)
Black and white (echo: black and white)
Yeah those keys are black and white (echo: black and white)

Verse 2:
The next day things are not the same; I can't sit up straight
I try so hard to get a start, and now I see my fate
And then they say, “You're here to stay!” But it doesn't feel quite right
And furthermore, my throat is sore, from not drinking over night.

Chorus 2

Repeat Verse 1

Black and white (echo: black and white)
Yeah those keys are black and white (echo: black and white)
And when I play (echo: and when I play)
And when I play (echo: and when I play)
There's shades of grey.
