[Interlude] Every move suspends an action Any attempt to engage will push away What you want becomes a magnet Opposing poles Never meeting Can you combine a friend and mother? Can you blend a dad and brother? Must we have to pick one or the other? Will we know this or always wonder? (Always wonder) You can tell what you’ve done to me To be seen in hell from your place in a tree Always helping Ever loving But will you always Be above me I won’t ignore nor will not forget The kindness that’s been done to me You are the surest and safest bet that I could ask for So I’m asking Soon we will be side by side the Plane will land and the wings will glide The bags in hand and The car will drive Into you I will arrive By your side By your side #TheWhiteStripes #CityLights #MichelGondry
