For the Life of Me

How can there be a song without the music?

How can there be a wave without the sea?

The lightning needs the thunder as a speaking voice, oh yeah

And I must have you, for the life of me

How can there be a baby, with no crying?

A future with no past can never be

A hummingbird can't live unless it's free to fly

And I must have you, for the life of me

I know that sunshine follows rain

I know that pleasure follows pain

And I know that I must have you somehow

Oh, oh, oh

Every ship waits for the crew

And every rose waits for the dew

But I need you

Right now

How can there be an end with no beginning?

So run to me, I'm waiting helplessly

And break these shackles of impatience

Oh, make believe, oh yeah

For I must have you, for the life of me
