Hey everyone and welcome back to Radio Headspace.

So as you know, if you've been listening this week, I'll be sharing some lyrics and

But before we get into today's lyrics, let me tell you about an encounter that I had

on one of my visits to New York City.

Let's just call him P. We were walking swiftly down the street as per New York etiquette.

And I must mention it was unusually crowded this evening and I bumped into this guy.

Yeah man, totally my fault, my apologies.

And this time, I simply walked away.

My friend P was silent for a few moments and then he finally broke it and said, yo man,

I asked.

I was in the wrong.
