The Unexplainable Truth


Walking down the street,

I look up and I see

An old couple holding hands.

Man I hope one day that's me.

When I'm all grown up I

hope I grow old with you

And we'll be the couple

others say "I want that too."


But it's hard to imagine

our roads always merging

because today it feels like

their roads are just diverging.

One day she's beautiful.

One day he's a gentle man.

But then the next morning

neither one gives a damn

about anything they worked

for or the time they spent.

Then they just walk away

like love is something you rent.


How can you rent something

as immaculate as love?

Maybe it's cuz we don't

know what the hell is love.

Maybe it's cuz we don't

see love in our own home.

Maybe it's cuz we don't

have money to buy our own.

Maybe it's cuz we don't

work enough to maintain it.

Maybe it's cuz we don't

care enough to retain it.

Maybe it's cuz love is

something we just don't get.

But how does love become

something you regret?


So maybe love's a mountain

that's impossible to climb.

But take my hand girl and

everything will be fine.

Everyone always said that

man could never fly.

We'll it's time to take flight

and give our love a try.

When it works, we won't

have to answer why.

Because we know that

our love is not a lie,

in your arms I'll die.
