Why This One

Of all the lives to live, why this one?

Filled with could have been no fun

Countless nights of anxious frustration

Of all the lives to live, why this one?

And of all the souls to meet, why these two?

One old and dark furious as a shrugging ocean

Other shiny fresh as a winter morning

Of all the souls to meet, why these two?

Another night in bed with you

Another day beside you gone

Slipping it in softly off to sleep

You say, "Do you ever wonder why this one?"

Dusty simple minded piece of fiction

Strange and odd twisted as a contradiction

Glittering jewel of flaws and celebration

Another night in bed with you

Another day beside you gone

Slipping it in softly off to sleep

You say, "Do you ever wonder why this one?"

You say, "Do you ever wonder why this one?"

You say, "Do you ever wonder why this one?"

Why this one? Why this one? Why this one?
