Okay-I wrote this song because I was in Manhattan today and I saw this homeless girl on a corner and we were dress really really similarly and it was kind of eye-opening. She was about my age too. So that's the literal meaning behind this, but I tried to do this metaphorically. Please let me know if it worked!

One fateful time down on the street
I saw a shadow of what I might just lose
The cracks in the sidewalk led back to my feet
And we were wearing the same shoes

Our eyes never met, but it was staring me down
And I couldn't help but wonder why
I couldn't respond with my conscience around
So it turned away with a sigh

So please tell me when I should care
Because I've put that off for a while
And I fear the shade is setting in
And I can't meet your stare
But I know you are there
And I'm not sure where to begin

(chorus)
And it takes much more
Than it did before
To talk sense into you
It's no surprise
But you'll realize
That I've lost my senses too

So you'll blame me for leaving
But I've seen what could be
And even though you're unbelieving
You must buy into me
So trust me on this one
Because you weren't there on the street
Where I heard this song first sung
In the middle of all this heat

Now time has gone by
In the hot sun of July
And there's still not sign of the shadow
My first regret from that day
Is that I still can't say
Why I never met it's gaze

(chorus)
