about
In two weeks, my thoughts became words and musical arrangement. But it took years to realise that the older-wiser equation was not quite what I thought it would be.
lyrics
LYRICS:
Isn't it strange how we gravitated towards each other
Like opposite poles yet so alike.
Isn't it strange that we hear each other's thoughts
Like we were entwined yet barely a month apart.
Isn't it strange how we gravitated towards each other
Like opposite poles yet so alike.
Isn't it strange how our check lists point to each other
From the misguided road signs and nasty choices.
Isn't it strange that just when I thought I could get no wiser about love
You had to prove me wrong.
Isn't it strange how just when you thought you were wiser about life
I should prove you wrong.
Isn't it strange how we gravitated towards each other
Like opposite poles yet so alike.
Isn't it strange that we hear each other's thoughts
Like we were entwined yet barely a month apart.
Isn't it strange how we gravitated towards each other
Like opposite poles yet so alike.
Isn't it strange how our check lists point to each other
From the misguided road signs and nasty choices.
Isn't it strange that just when I thought I could get no wiser about love
You had to prove me wrong.
Isn't it strange how just when you thought you were wiser about life
I should prove you wrong.
