Figures
The Whitest Boy Alive Lyrics
There comes a time
For everyone
To sit down and assess
What's there and what is not there
Eternally up in the air
And it seems that time has come for you
And it figures now
I was only the one who needed to appear
And 'cause a turn of events
It's also fitting somehow
That I should be the last to know
And I'm blown away
When my friend tells me that it's so
What did I give you?
That's harder to answer than what did I take
What did I mean to you?

There comes a time
For everyone
To sit down and assess
What's there and what is not there
Eternally up in the air
And it seems that time has come for you
And it figures now
I was only the one who needed to appear
And 'cause a turn of events
To force a turn of events
It's also fitting somehow
That I should be the last to know
And I'm blown away
When my friend tells me that it's so
What did I give you?
That's harder to answer than what did I take
What did I mean to you?
