lyrics

if you ask me why
if you ask me why

cuz there's a reason you're loosing your keys in the morning
& there's a reason for a broken heart
& there's a reason for every question
& there's a reason for every regret
but you gotta forgive to heal
& you gotta heal to forgive
you gotta live to die
& you gotta die to live
you gotta get to grow
& you gotta know to forget

& yet & yet
you'll forget it in people
but it's hiding in the crevices of every mind
you'll forget it in your routines
but it's waiting to be
shattered & untied
it's hiding where you left it
& it's selfless

& if you ask me why
if you ask me why

cuz there's a reason the sun comes up in the morning
& there's a reason to sing a song
& there's a reason for every coincidence
& i'd like to think there's a reason we can make sense of anything at all

but you gotta begin to end
you gotta end to begin
cuz everything is expanding
just to come back in
& if it goes in & out
then there ain't no out without oscillation

& yet & yet you'll find it in people
even if you're lost playing those games with stones
you'll find it in that moment
& it might shatter you
until all is one
it's hiding where you left it
& it's selfless

& if you ask me why
if you ask me why
