we thought we made a match
then it turned out we were wrong
so we threw it out the window
turned our backs and headed home
then a spark met the motor oil that covered up the road
it was never our intent for Tahlequah to explode
the sky isnt black or white
its grey
you and i, we're not black and white
we're grey
then the trucks came and the sirens
went off for a month
i tried my best to ignore it
but all it took was once
i drove by your old place
i couldnt believe what i saw
not a single sight resembled
the old Tahlequah
the sky isnt black or white
its grey
you and i, we're not black and white
we're grey
and now we're pointing fingers
we dont wanna take the blame
we dont wanna be the one
who put out the flame
after i regained my senses
i took a trip downtown
but i had no defense for seeing
everything burnt down
every single place we ever
entered hand in hand together
filled my lungs with smoke that i'll inhale forever
the sky isnt black or white
its grey
you and i, we're not black and white
we're grey
