If you ask me why

If you ask me why

Cuz there's a reason you're losing 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
