Whispers of Change: Conversations on a Lunch Break
Lyrics
You came up to me at work
You approached me while I was at work.
Said there was something you’d been thinking of
You mentioned there was something on your mind.
Something that you’d rather talk about outside
You preferred discussing it outside.
So I unhooked my coat
I took off my coat in preparation for the conversation.
Shut my computer down and wrote a note
I closed my computer and left a note for my boss about leaving early for lunch.
To my boss saying I’d be leaving early on lunch
Prepared to leave early for lunch due to our discussion.
You started talking fast as soon as soon as you got out the door
You began speaking quickly as soon as we left the building.
I said ‘hold up, could you slow down. I do not understand’
I asked you to slow down because I couldn't comprehend.
Lift door is closing
The elevator door is closing; trying to convince myself it's not a big deal.
Telling myself this is nothing
Telling myself that the situation is insignificant.
This is definitely nothing
Reiterating that it's indeed not a significant issue.
I am panicking for nothing
Feeling anxious for no substantial reason.
You started talking fast as soon as soon as you got out the door
You resumed speaking rapidly once we left the building.
I said ‘hold up, could you slow down. I do not understand’
I asked you again to slow down, as I still couldn't grasp the information.
And you did, but I still couldn’t hear a thing
Despite your attempt to slow down, I couldn't understand what you were saying.
There was a kid on a dirt bike
A child on a dirt bike approached loudly from behind.
Coming loudly up behind
Emphasizing the noise of the approaching dirt bike.
You started talking fast as soon as soon as you got out the door
You continued speaking rapidly after leaving the building.
I said ‘hold up, could you slow down. I do not understand’
I reiterated my request for you to slow down due to my difficulty understanding.
And you did, but I still couldn’t hear a thing
Even though you slowed down, I still couldn't comprehend your words.
There was a kid on a dirt bike
A child on a dirt bike approached loudly from behind again.
Coming loudly up behind
Reiterating the noise of the dirt bike approaching from behind.
