Why Things Happen
Lyrics
You'll never know when your last breath's gonna fade like a July sunset
Or how a tragedy like gravity holds you still while the world keeps spinnin'
It's hard not to question circumstances that leave you with nothin' to say
Is there some kind of message? Some kind of lesson? Damn, life's hard to explain
Oh God, tell me why things happen
Things happen like they do
Leaves you thinking 'bout how time leaves you
It gets you all confused
In the blink of a moment, gone 'fore you know it
Hits you right out of the blue
Wonderin' why things happen, things happen like they do, yeah
How a child that's just been named can then be pulled from the arms of a mother
Or a cross on the side of a two-lane road holds the memory of somebody's brother
You try not to question God and his judgement, but damn it, I don't understand
Somebody tell me why things happen
Things happen like they do
Leaves you thinking 'bout how time leaves you
It gets you all confused
In the blink of a moment, gone 'fore you know it
Hits you right out of the blue
You got me wonderin' why things happen, things happen like they do, oh
Your heart keeps on beatin'
Through all of those feelings
That you thought you'd never get through
There must be a reason
Our eyes are not seein'
Everything we want them to, uh
So tell me why things happen, yeah, yeah, yeah
So tell me why things happen
Things happen like they do (like they do)
Leaves you thinking 'bout how time leaves you (leaves you thinking)
It gets you all confused (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
In the blink of a moment, gone 'fore you know it
Hits you right out of the blue (hits you right out of the blue)
Wonderin' why things happen, things happen like they do (things happen, things happen)
Oh, yeah
Ooh, ooh, ooh, yeah
Yeah
