A Study In Contrast Lyrics

Would my life improve without you

Or would I be lost without you

I'll be over it in a year

I live my life in glimpses around you

If I looked at you for too long, I would have to give you forever

Well, at least as long as I last

I mentally and physically cannot go near you

And speaking… is speaking always required

I was talking with Mick about the size of elementary schools in Michigan

Eight grades combined equaled only 120 people

But I lost interest when I felt you behind me

You, just 1 person

Accidental meetings, drive me

I have never used the corners of my eyes as much as I did that night

You look comfy wrapped in the warmth of your hulking sweater

It hangs down so low, almost down to where your skirt ends

My conversation with Mick ends, and I had to take my leave up the aisle

I glimpse like I normally do

It boggles my mind that you can wear an oversize sweater

With an ornate necklace and get away with it

The contrast is making me insane

The contrast of your clothes and jewelry

The contrast of your November skin and your red lipstick

The contrast of your feelings, and mine

I always love your shoes
