What Are The Lyrics For Why Did I Write the Book of Love By Sondre Lerche?
Why did I write the book of love before I knew your name?
Why did I memorize the rules but never play the game? The news are full of lobbyists and demagogues and populists And you can be as tough to read but infinitely more rewarding Why did I write the book of love before I knew your name Why did I waste such precious time fear-mongering in vain The universe is full of misplaced privilege and misogyny But you are both the privilege and the challenge I deserve, I hope So why are we not enough to save the world, to save ourselves? And why are we not enough for me? I'll never get to heaven, never get to hell I'll never get it right if I can't get out of my own way Why did I write the book of love before I knew your name? Why did I go to all that trouble to fan a dying flame? The truth is compromised by a creeping normality of lies But you have the distracting touch that gets me to the church on time So why are we not enough to save the world, to save ourselves? And why are we not enough for me? I'll never get to heaven, never get to hell I'll never get it right if I can't get out of my own way The truth is hard to reckon with, you f*ck with it, it fucks you silly Why did I write the book of love before I knew your name? Why did we never meet-cute on the power-walk of shame? The world is full of tragedies and efforts to desensitize us Never let me off the hook, just hold me so accountable Oh why are we not enough to save the world, to save ourselves? And why are we not enough for me? I'll never get to heaven, never get to hell We'll never get it right if we can't get out of our own Never get to roll our eyes again Never never get it right if we can't get out of our own Never get to patronize and polarize We'll never get it right if we can't get out of our own ass |
