IF I HAD A REASON I’D TELL YOU WHAT IT IS MUST I EXPLAIN HOW I FEEL I’VE TRIED AND I’VE TRIED TO MAKE IT SO CLEAR BUT MY TIME IS JUST WASTED I FEAR
WELL ITS ONLY AN OLD SONG BUT IT SERVES ITS PURPOSE WELL BY THE CRY IN YOUR VOICE I CAN TELL WHEN YOU SING THERE’S A FEELING BEHIND THE WORDS THAT BRINGS IT ALL BACK AGAIN
I’M REACHING, I’M REACHING WHILE YOU SLIP AWAY I’M SEARCHING FOR WORDS I CAN SAY
I’M LISTENING, I’M LISTENING TRYIN’ NOT TO HEAR YOU SAY THAT WE MIGHT MEET SOME DAY
THERE’S A PICTURE THAT’S FADED AND CURLING FROM ITS FRAME OF A FACE THAT SMILES PATIENTLY IT MIGHT SMILE FOREVER TO MAKE ME FEEL BETTER BUT I MUST WAIT AND SEE*
I’M REACHING, I’M REACHING WHILE YOU SLIP AWAY I’M SEARCHING FOR WORDS I CAN SAY
I’M LISTENING, I’M LISTENING TRYIN’ NOT TO HEAR YOU SAY THAT WE MIGHT MEET SOME DAY
ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS THAT WE BOTH WANT TO KNOW BUT THOSE ANSWERS KEEP EVADING ME THERE'S RHYMES AND THERE'S REASONS THERE'S RIGHTS AND THERE'S WRONGS FOR BEING WHAT YOU ARE TO ME
IF I HAD A REASON I’D TELL YOU WHAT IT IS WOULD YOU DO THE SAME THING FOR ME BECAUSE THE MINUTE YOU GO THERE'S ONE THING I KNOW THAT THE DAY WILL MEAN NOTHING FOR ME
