the black and white years - helen lyrics
[intro]
i hope i’m on your mind
i hope you’re stuck repeating
i hope i’m on your mind
i know you’re on mine
[verse 1]
it was the dull of winter
it was the year we met
the universe was working for once in my lifetime
[pre+chorus]
i hope i’m still on your mind
could it be somehow we got the timing right this time?
[chorus]
i believe in second chances, but i’m aware of where we’ve been
what is life without the slimmest chance of redemption?
i believe in new beginnings, but i remember how it ended then
what is life without the thrilling curse of convention?
[post+chorus]
i hope i’m on your mind
i hope you’re stuck repeating
i hope i’m on your mind
i know you’re on mine
[verse 2]
you were the ghost of helen
the face that launched a thousand ships
i knew i’d witnessed something that was once in a lifetime
[bridge]
and when she spoke, she slaughtered their laughter
pity, disaster!
dumbfounded folk sauntered around her, notably faster
[pre+chorus]
i hope i’m still on your mind
i’m convinced i will be if we get the timing right
[chorus]
i believe in mending fences, but i’m aware of how you feel
what is life without the dimmest chance of rejection?
i believe in independence, though i assume affection has appeal
what is life without the thrilling curse of connection?
i believe in second chances, but i’m aware of where we’ve been
what is life without the slimmest chance of redemption?
i believe in new beginnings, but i remember how it ended then
what is life without the thrilling curse of convention?
[outro]
i’m on your mind
i hope i’m on your mind
i hope i’m on your mind
i hope i’m on your mind
