i remember (rightly)
it was television (TV)
and i was playing (late night)
on a stranger's walkman (headphone)
it was raining (raining)
at the subway station (new york)
so i lingered (waiting)
doubting hesitation (tension)
cause i was going away
and you were staying
i was going away
and you were staying
i was going away (going away)
and you were staying (going away)
you were swept away (going away)
and unpersuaded
i remember (recall)
a certain confrontation (that one)
you were scissors (jagged)
i was paper (fragile)
you were saying (verbal)
there was nothing to say (silent)
i was thinking (candor)
but it didn't matter (checking voided, canceled)
cause i was going away
and you were staying
i was going away
and you were staying
i was going away (going away)
and you were staying (going away)
you were swept away (going away)
and unpersuaded
yea you were swept away (going away)
and unpersuaded
you were swept away (going away)
and unpersuaded
