Oh, I’ve always been so cavalier,
Never wanted to rock the boat,
Or shake it up,
Or be the one to start the domino chain,
But I’d happily watch them fall and fall and
Fall
Oh, I never wanted more than this,
Always felt at ease with status quos,
And just-like-this,
And yesterday’s coffee order,
But I’d tell myself I’d change maybe tomorrow or tomorrow or
Tomorrow
Oh, I learned about days like today in school
The beginning of tomorrow and the domino chain,
America and France and China and Brazil and Egypt and –
A spark, a catalyst, a moment
Where it begins
Oh, she looked at me,
Her smile a tidal wave to test these waters
I wasn’t prepared for change,
But this uprising was a long time coming,
Cinderella’s unexpected Midnight
Oh, she cracked open this heart like the pages of a dusty history book,
I built the blockade and called the brigade,
But the gatekeeper on this soul was napping,
And she strolled in during her evening walk,
And lit the fuse and watched as it burned and burned and
Burned
Oh, I’m stuck on this wall between the head and the heart,
And on one side is yesterday’s coffee order and the easy seas,
And on the other side her finger poises precariouslyÂ
Over the dynamite domino and she strikes the match,
And I watch as the whole line of them begins to fall and fall and
Fall
Oh, watch as I begin to fall and fall and
Fall
