lyrics

Just because it's written doesn't mean it's in the book
Just because it's living doesn't mean it aint forsook
And just because it's humming from a string
It doesn't mean that it's a song
Just because it's hurting doesn't mean it's got no joy
Just because it's working doesn't mean it's still employed
And just because it's quiet
Doesn't mean that there are words we need to say

Just because I love you doesn't mean you'll follow suit
But if you'd be so inclined to do likewise, I'll give all my love to you

Just because it's drifting doesn't mean it's all at sea
Just because it's bending doesn't mean it's on its knees
And just because it's still as frozen ice upon the pond
Doesn't mean there's anything to stop its up and moving on
Just because it's lonely doesn't mean it's all alone
Just because it's roamin' doesn't mean it's got no home
And just because it's right next to the dirt
It doesn't mean it's not the sky
Oh and just because there's clouds above your head
Doesn't mean the sun don't shine

Just because I love you doesn't mean you'll follow suit
But if you'd be so inclined to do likewise, I'll give all my love to you

Just because it's waiting doesn't mean that it won't move
Just because it's rhythm doesn't mean it's got the blues
Oh and just because it's ending
Doesn't mean that something new won't soon commence
And just because it's just begun it doesn't mean I'm not convinced

All I want
Is something to hold closely
But if no you won't
Then we'll be satisfied

We'll be satisfied
