My Whole Life

So please don't ask me
Why, oh why I can't just
Give you any satisfying answers
Don't ask me why
Oh why I can't just
Give you all my time
And give you my whole life

I feel the blood rush in my veins
Every time I see your name
And I'm not there
I close my eyes against the rain
In hopes it goes away
I wake unrested from those dreams
Try to chase them back to sleep
But they just don't wait
Try as I might you'll never see
That the one you thought was me
Just may be
But a fake this time

So please don't ask me why
Oh why I can't just
Give you any satisfying answers
Don't ask me why
Oh why I can't just
Give you all my time
And give you my whole life

(Let us observe the effects some three hours later)

My whole life
(Well, I just couldn't)
Give you my whole life
(I couldn't possibly tell you, it's)
Give you my whole life
(Can't you feel it?)
(Everything is in color, and, and I, I can feel the air)
(Good heavens...)
(I've never seen such infinite beauty in my life)

My whole life
Give you my whole life
Ooh, my whole life

Give you my whole life
