lyrics

There’s a reason why grass is green
To make you envy
The rain the sun the stars the sky
Everything
The Reasons for these things aren’t clear
If they could what would be
The point of leaving bodies here
To learn that’s what they’re for

A window lies between my face and the sky
But no glass can stop the wondering
Why oh why
The world spins counter clockwise in the sky with my on top
But if I pulled a string then would it stop

They say the sun’s a giant ball of fire
Oh, but I don’t believe it
A ball of fire would burn up and expire
The sun will outlive them
These thoughts run crazy circles in my head
Like birds in the sand
Leaving tiny three-pronged foot prints
Wherever they land

A window lies between my face and the sky
But no glass can stop the wondering
Why oh why
The world spins
