Random topic

I picked a card at random From the bowl by your door It said "take the left turn I’d never walked there before You laughed like it meant something While the rain hit the tin I kept your note in my pocket Like a secret under my skin Now I’m following signs That don’t make sense But my feet keep moving Past the fence Random topic, baby Say my name Random topic, baby Light the flame One small spark And I’m gone again Random topic, baby Break my plan At the corner store, you chose The candy with the blue stripe Said, "don’t think too hard So I let it taste like night We talked about a lost dog And a dent in your old car Somehow your offhand stories Keep pulling me back far Now I’m following signs That don’t make sense But my heart keeps jumping The wrong defense Random topic, baby Say my name Random topic, baby Light the flame One small spark And I’m gone again Random topic, baby Break my plan And if the world gets quiet We can flip the page Pick a brand new story Set the whole thing loose onstage Random topic, baby Say my name Random topic, baby Light the flame One small spark And I’m gone again Random topic, baby Break my plan Random topic, baby Stay awhile Random topic, baby Make me smile
