The Way That He Sings

  • 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 Writer/s: Jim Edward Olliges Jr.
