[Verse 1] Morning at the door Two little D's standing side by side Same face same shape Nothing alike inside DAY says, "Open it!" Push! A line of light runs through the door D to L the LIGHT goes out L to W the WHITE spreads wide [Pre-Chorus] Further wider into the blue D — L — W That's what daylight likes to do [Chorus] D L W Expand! DAY LIGHT WHITE Open! Outside! Wide! Make a little room then make it twice D L W Expand! Wait— Who's that under my feet? A second D says, "Hey... that's me." [Verse 2] Under a tree behind a wall Under my shoes he follows it all DAY goes right DARK goes left DAY steps forward DARK steps back "Why do you follow me?" DARK says softly, "Because you're here... so am I." Same place same time Two D's born side by side [Pre-Chorus] Late afternoon DAY gets tired "That's enough for me." The shadow stretches long across the street DARK looks up "...My turn?" [Chorus] N D B Contract! NIGHT DARK BLACK Close Inside Small Bring the distant edges back N to D D to B Fold the colors quietly N D B Contract! BLACK becomes a little box Click. [Bridge] DAY-D opens the door DARK-D closes it One goes OUT One goes IN Opposite twins with the same first name "Hey, I was born first." "...Were you?" "Light came first!" "Then where was your shadow?" ... "Wait." [Final Chorus] D L W Expand! N D B Contract! WHITE goes wide BLACK pulls back Morning comes and there they are Two D's waiting at the door "My turn first!" "You went first yesterday." "Then you go." "...I'd rather not." Same face same shape Still arguing at daybreak [Ending] "Light first?" "Shadow first?" ... "Which one was it?" Click! D L W
