I got a window blown out in my house, I called the super on the phone, but the super was me
I said, "When you coming over I got cold air blowin in?"
And he said, "yesterday."
"So when you coming back again?"
He said, "Never son you've had your fun. I'm off to see the other ones"
"But today's the day that's hurting man
I wish that you could understand: leave me in the cold, there's no tomorrow."
And I said why don't you love me like you did, love me like you did?
And I said why don't you love me like you did, love me like you did?
Well I met a girl the other day, she said, "Where you going boy? I wish that you could catch me up."
I said, "Do I even know you girl, and are you the one I'm looking for?" and she said, "yeah."
So we wandered off in the woods, found ourselves a house to settle in and call our own.
But now we're looking back again on nothing like a road, a friend, or any way to get ourselves home.
And I said why don't you love me like you did, love me like you did?
And I said why don't you love me like you did, love me like you did?
Life goes on...
Well I joined the army late last week; it was more than I could ever speak or do on my own.
And all the boys in my platoon say, "Get a shot; better take it soon. You may be never going home."
So I wandered off with my gun; thought I'd have some fun while the boys were all asleep
But someone crept up behind me late in the night laid me down before I could even breathe
And I said why don't you love me like you did, love me like you did?
And I said why don't you love me like you did, love me like you did?
So I left my body on the beach, further than i could ever reach. Up into the sky I grew.
And everyone I'd ever known- all their faces came and shown their light as I flew.
I thought of all the time we'd had, everything we'd ever done, all that I love in this world.
And as I took my final glimpse of my worldly deeds I saw my own mother.
And she said why don't you love me like you did, love me like you did?
Life goes on...
