He came from somewhere back in her long ago.
The sentimental fool don't see,
Tryin' hard to recreate,
What had yet to be created once in her life.
She musters a smile for his nostalgic tale,
Never comin' near what he wanted to say.
Only to realize it never really was.

She had a place in his life.
He never made her think twice.
As she rises to her apology.
Anybody else would surely know,
He's watching her go.

(What a fool believes he sees,)
(The wise man has the power to reason away.)
(What seems to be is always better than nothing.)
(And nothing at all keeps sending him,)

Somewhere back in her long ago,
Where he can still believe
There's a place in her life.
Some day, somewhere, she will return.

She had a place in his life.
He never made her think twice.
As she rises to her apology.
Anybody else would surely know,
He's watching her go.

(What a fool believes he sees,)
(The wise man has the power to reason away.)
(What seems) If love can come and love can go. (to be)
Why can't love return as one?
(Is always better than nothing.)
Who got the power?
(There's nothing at all.) Oh, my.
(But what a fool believes,)
I believe she's never goin' away. (he sees.)
Hey-yeah, (The wise man has the power)
To reason away, (to reason away,)
Fade.
Oh, if, love can come and love can go. (to be.)
Why can't love return as one?
(Is always better than nothing.)
Better than nothing.
(Nothing at all...)
