This is why I’m counting one breath at a time
This is why I call the moment you come to mind
This is why I memorize your eyes before I go
Only going ‘round the corner, but you never know

When the wind is cold it will not wait for sun
Underbellies of the leaves ‘til mercy comes
This is why I’m looking out the window
Wind might blow this way tomorrow, but you never know

This is why I’m counting one life at a time
In the morning when the sun can make you blind
In the middle of the traffic moving slow
There might be somewhere to go, but you never know
You never know
