lyrics

I see the future as clearly as the past
I see myself looking back
And there’s no stretch of time without grief in every season

And there’s so much rhyme
So much rhyme without reason
Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah, Yeah...

Boys making faces at the girl across the way
Would they even know her face today?
And there’s so little time, so little peace in every season

And there’s so much rhyme
So much rhyme without reason
Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah, Yeah...
Without reason
Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah, Yeah...

There’s a poetry to it all
There’s a poetry to it all
But I can’t read between the lines
To reason out a Grand Design
So I'm left to wander through the ‘verse
Wondering what’s worse?
Stars are born and stars explode…
Whoa, whoa...

I see the future as clearly as the past
I see myself looking back
And there’s no stretch of time without grief in every season

And there’s so much rhyme
All of the time
So much rhyme without reason
Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah, Yeah...
Without reason
Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah, Yeah...

There’s a poetry to it all
