[00:01.80] The Reaason Why
[00:03.11]
[00:03.83]
[00:04.34]
[00:35.81] I won't try to bring you down about my suicide
[00:41.69] Got no need to understand about my big surprise
[00:47.37] I won't beg to hang you up about my love of life
[00:53.08] If you promise not to sing about the reasons why
[00:58.43]
[00:58.89] I am writing you a letter
[01:00.98] Getting better
[01:01.99] Can I see you?
[01:02.63] When...
[01:04.53] All the lights go out together
[01:06.52] Blame the weather
[01:07.62] Yeah the cold again
[01:10.11] In the darkness for a second
[01:12.33] I am sure I see them smiling then
[01:17.44] I feel them calling me
[01:18.76] Yeah they are calling me...
[01:21.64]
[01:21.97] And I am falling through the stars
[01:24.68] You remember now?
[01:28.33] Yeah I am falling in their arms
[01:30.55] You remember how?
[01:33.20] Oh I am falling through the sky
[01:36.35] You remember this ?
[01:38.98] I am falling in their eyes
[01:42.51] You remember the kiss?
[01:45.05]
[02:07.96] I won't try to pull you in about my sacrifice
[02:13.76] Makes no sense to get upset about the other side
[02:19.62] I won't beg to put you out about my right to die
[02:25.06] If you promise not to sing about the reasons why
[02:29.58]
[02:31.01] I am calling you at midnight
[02:33.17] Feeling alright...can I tell you?
[02:34.95] When?
[02:36.71] On the line no sound but my words
[02:38.59] Must be night birds on the wire again
[02:42.22] In the silence for a second
[02:44.24] I am sure I hear them laughing then
[02:47.99] I feel them calling me
[02:51.14] Yeah they are calling me...
[02:53.41]
[02:53.85] I am falling through the stars
[02:57.10] You remember now
[02:59.60] Yeah, I am falling in their arms
[03:02.64] You remember how
[03:05.32] I am falling through the sky
[03:08.51] You remember this
[03:11.01] I am falling in their eyes
[03:14.25] You remember the kiss
[03:17.15]
[03:17.40] "We know"
[03:18.49] They said
[03:19.09] "You're holding on
[03:21.84] To nothing left of something gone"
[03:26.85]
[03:27.82] "We know"
[03:28.71] They said
[03:30.55] "In letting go
[03:33.55] Of fear and dread
[03:36.32] And all you know
[03:39.23] You'll lose the need of certainty
[03:45.00] And make-believe eternity
[03:50.68] To find the true reality
[03:56.48] In beautiful infinity...."
[04:01.04]
[04:14.58] But I won't try to bring you down about my suicide
[04:20.19] If you promise not to sing about the reasons why
[04:25.27]
