what happens when the light turns green?

"...red lights, they ask us to stop,
but who chooses when we are ready to go?

what if the light changes and i need more time?
what if i don't move and i 'cause a long line?

isn't every person different?
aren't we all moving at our own pace?
what's all the hurry about?


...i just need 5 more minutes." -JAJ

count to 20, here i come

green floors
purple doors
people hiding
people hiding

red cars
blue bars
people hiding
people hiding

black moon
silver spoon
people hiding
people hiding

lah lah lah lah
lah lah lah lah
lah lah lah lah
lah lah lah lah

one more coffee
one more chance
one more moment
one more dance

i'll risk everything
to see you one more time
i'll give everything for you, for you

lah lah lah lah
lah lah lah lah
lah lah lah lah
lah lah lah lah

words.

"We all say that we all know the perfect thing to say,
but then we open our mouths." -JAJ

i was sitting at the same table, but saw something new

"Silver pattern, I found your reflection,
but it's nothing like a mirror.

Coat goes on, red purse comes out.
Money exchanged, manners too.

Boots that create footsteps,
as movement passes through the door.

Life moves on too.

Gone, gone, gone.

And you were different than before,
but life doesnt change so much anymore." -JAJ

i was chasing my own reflection to see what i could see

"...tapping my fingers to the beat,
but i only see a fragment of the rhythm.
is that something you understand?
cause i don't like hearing the words i don't like.
admit to it, i love honesty.
help me please. i am confused.
confusion, i made it harder.
love is a beautiful word.
but words aren't everything in love.
i see the truth, i don't believe it.
music meets me in the middle." -JAJ

staring at the wall can reveal so many things

"...wallpaper layered again and again,
it doesn't appear i will see the end.
but that's something we can do,
cover our mistakes with paper and glue.
so many times i'd love to forget,
erase that moment, hit the button 'reset'." -JAJ

i hope you're ready for that.

"Putting your life on the line for the truth
means realising you may have to die for it." -JAJ
