"Two-Sided Words"
Lyrics


You said you are the ceiling        
I heard you are the floor        
I said I am the hinges            
You heard I am the door    

You said you are the hammer    
I heard you are the nail        
I said I am the rudder             
You heard I am the sail        

All words are like vapor
They're thin as wrapping paper
Some are very thin
Cuz word are thin-skinned

Each and every word         
Comes with two sides    
And we can either see the whole
Or we choose to divide


You alway say the truth
And I’m no liar
I thought you were the water
I learned you are the fire

Everyone’s got has a point of view
It doesn’t have to agree with you
But if we listen to the core
we don’t have to argue anymore
  
I heard that I am a fool
And you the hero
And you heard I am the one
And you the zero

You think I am both ends
When I think I am the middle
And you think you are the answer
When I think you’re the riddle

And If I’m the red wine
And you’re the crystal glass
Then why when I say iron
You alway hear brass?

I’m an oscillating wave
And you’re a floating particle
When I’m speaking micro
Your hearin’ astronomical

Each and every word         
comes with two sides    
And we can either get the whole
Or choose to divide
