The Way That He Sings

Lyrics

Why's it so strange when they say

That the world's movin upwards?

Why's it surreal when my hands

Feel they can't roll the dice?

Why's it so great just to wake every day,

Alive and by your side.

It's a mystery I guess,

There's lots of things I can't find.

It's not the way that you look,

But your move that catches my eye.

Why's it so soft when the cannons

Unload on the others?

Why're we so loud when we say

It won't happen to us?

Why does my mind blow to bits

Every time they play that song?

It's just the way that he sings,

Not the words that he says, or the band.

I'm in love with this soul,

It's a meaning that I understand.
