lyrics

A slap on the back
You’re giving them that
They’re getting your jokes
Not like when we spoke
Words stuck in your throat
Just stuck in your throat
Why knock on a door when your hand is soar
Just let yourself in
Don’t bother to call or show up at all
Just done on a whim
Finally you made it so wonderful for you
That’s what I was meaning to say but instead what I said
What I said was

You’re living in color and I’m in black and white
You’re a vision to be seen
I’m out of sight
You’re in living color and I’m in black and white
You’re a vision to behold
I’m the ghost of spite

Remember the car
The driving was far
We knew where to go
You read all the words, some were reversed
Some we didn’t know
And then we were stuck just looking them up
That’s cheating and so we go in a rut
And that was enough to just cut and go
Rolling all the windows down, hands wave in the wind
That was then and this is now
Would you say, would you say, would you say

You’re living in color and I’m in black and white
You’re a vision to be seen
I’m out of sight
You’re in living color and I’m in black and white
You’re a vision to behold
I’m the ghost of spite

Suzy Callahan Maryland

“Suzy Callahan imbues “Maybe” with more mystery and complex emotions and offbeat observations than entire albums by many artists…Fans of Edith Frost will definitely find much to love in Callahan’s catalog.” - Queen City Sounds and Arts Blog.
