Lyric

The sign says "Don't"

So I don't

The sign says "Go"

So I go

Red means stop

Green means move

Easy enough

When someone makes the rules

But what about the things

Nobody writes down?

What about the silence

When no one's around?

Right or wrong

Black or white

Everybody wants

A simple line

But somewhere in between

That's where we live

Rules or manners?

Which one do you choose?

Follow every word

Or do what feels right to you?

Rules or manners?

I don't really know

Maybe there's a little space

Between the yes and no

Black or white

Wrong or right

Maybe life is neither one tonight

You waited for the light

With an empty street

Nobody was watching

Not a single car to see

Someone broke a rule

To help somebody out

Someone followed every rule

And let somebody down

So tell me

Who was right?

Tell me

Who was wrong?

Maybe the answer

Changes all along

Good or bad

Yes or no

We love the lines

Because they're easy to know

But somewhere in between

That's where we live

Rules or manners?

Which one do you choose?

Follow every word

Or do what feels right to you?

Rules or manners?

I don't really know

Maybe there's a little space

Between the yes and no

Black or white

Wrong or right

Maybe life is neither one tonight

I don't wanna break every rule

I don't wanna follow them blind

I don't wanna tell you the answer

Like I've figured out my life

Maybe rules keep us together

Maybe kindness matters more

Maybe both are true

Maybe neither

I'm not sure

Rules or manners?

Which one do you choose?

Maybe there's no perfect answer

Maybe that's the truth

Rules or manners?

Leave a little room

For the things we can't explain

And the things we sometimes do

Black or white

Wrong or right

There's a hundred shades between the lines

The light is red

The street is empty

What would you do?
