LYRICS

Why have I always wondered
where to go where to be
While you stayed where your love was
I just wandered aimlessly
And as my heart began to envy you
Life took
Me where there’s no room for two

“Two” could have been the number
I would numb myself to
Freely roamin’ around
just fell on me out of the blue
And as I closed my chapter “Life at Sea”
You flowed
In a love for all to see

But now I know
“Life over love” is not a choice
“Life over love” is not a choice
And I chose wrong

Man, didn’t I declare,
must stay untied ’till life must cease
Many lives I have led
and all alone and all in peace
All I did was carve a winding path of blue
And starve
For the love that shone on you

Why do I always wonder
where to go where to be
While you stay where your love is
I just wander aimlessly
And as my heart begins to envy you
Life takes
Me where there’s no room for two

But now I know
“Life over love” is not a choice
“Life over love” is not a choice
And I chose wrong
