The Reasons 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.
I won't try to bring you down about my suicide
Got no need to understand about my big surprise
I won't beg to hang you up about my love of life
If you promise not to sing about the reasons why
I am writing you a letter
Getting better
Can I see you?
When
All the lights go out together
Blame the weather
Yeah, the cold again
In the darkness for a second
I am sure I see them smiling then
I feel them calling me
Yeah, they're calling me
And I am falling through the stars
You remember now?
Yeah I am falling in their arms
You remember how?
Oh, I am falling through the skies
You remember this?
I am falling in their eyes
You remember the kiss?
I won't try to pull you in about my sacrifice
Makes no sense to get upset about the other side
I won't beg to put you out about my right to die
If you promise not to sing about the reasons why
I am calling you at midnight
Feeling alright, can I tell you?
When?
On the line no sound but my words
Must be night birds on the wire again
In the silence for a second
I am sure I hear them laughing then
I feel them calling me
Yeah they are calling me
I am falling through the stars
You remember now
Yeah, I am falling in their arms
You remember how
I am falling through the skies
You remember this
I am falling in their eyes
You remember the kiss
We know they said
You're holding on
To nothing left of something gone
We know they said
In letting go
Of fear and dread
And all you know
You'll lose the need of certainty
And make-believe eternity
To find the true reality
In beautiful infinity
But I won't try to bring you down about my suicide
If you promise not to sing about the reasons why
