Why
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Somewhere in between here and heaven
Somewhere in between where and why
Somewhere in another dimension
I can hear you asking me why
Why?
Why?
Tell me can you hear me I’m calling
Tell me you can hear me, don’t cry
Tell me that you’re not feeling lonely
Somewhere in between where and why
I will wait for you
Will you wait for me?
I will wait for you
Will you wait for me?
(Tell me)
(Tell me)
(Tell me)
(Tell me)
Somewhere at the crossroads of nowhere
Somewhere at the crossroads of why
Somewhere in another dimension
I can hear you asking me why
Why?
Why?
Will you wait for me?
I will wait for you
Will you wait for me?
I will wait for you
(Tell me)
(Tell me)
(Tell me)
(Tell me)
Somewhere in between here and heaven
Somewhere in between where and why
Somewhere in another dimension
I can hear you asking me why
