but what's the point? you ask me
honey i wish i knew too, but i don't
maybe there isn't one but we live one moment to another
on the glimmer of hope that glows so weakly
yet unfailing, always
that something will change
something will be different
something good might happen
for a second of happiness
the stillness in your arms
that sweet sweet smile
and crisp laughter
heaven is just one step beyond
yet we are always one step behind
god knows i wish i knew
what the point is
but i'm not sure even god knows why
we chase after dreams one after another
searching for meaning
waiting patiently for it
but sometimes our patience wears thin too
and then what? what's the point?
maybe it's written in the stars in the sky
but we can't see, can't say for sure
because we turn our searchlights on
full blast for full effect
and in the process we drown out the signs
we flood our senses
by the time the light runs out
we're too blind to see
too numb to feel
too confused to make sense of anything
yet somehow dumb numb shocked and blind
we manage to find our ways still
and continue
well doesn't it get tiring? you wonder
repeatedly repeating
we do, we're exhausted
well then what's the point?
baby, i don't know
but know that i love you too
