I understand why the earth goes spinning
around and round an ancient star
and I know that a sound wave travels far
far enough that you could hear me
I know why there's a wall in China
why a fish swims in the sea
I know why thunderclouds turn into rain
It's you I can't explain

I can't explain how I came to be here
looking up at your front door
I don't remember what I came here for
only that I want to see you
I don't know why the stars look sunny
on a night that's cold and blue
I can't explain the fear, the joy, the pain
It's love I can't explain
