Why do we have to overthink it? It shouldn't be this complicated The faster you run, the further I chase Trying so hard to rearrange us Look at us now, we're common strangers One of us has to finish this race I don't understand why we need a plan It comes natural to me Don't have to tell a fire to burn Don't have to teach a bluebird to fly Don't have to tell the rain when to fall From a September sky Don't have to tell my heart when to leap Out my chest when I'm with you Don't have to tell me how to love you, baby It's just something I do When did your ribs become a cage? You're locking me out in little phases I'm showing up and you've disappeared How can I capture your attention? What can I say to make you listen? Why do you turn away from my tears? It's so out of hand, I don't understand I have loved you from the start Don't have to tell a fire to burn Don't have to teach a bluebird to fly Don't have to tell the rain when to fall From a September sky Don't have to tell my heart when to leap Out my chest when I'm with you Don't have to tell me how to love you, baby It's just something I do Every day, every minute, either it is, or it isn't Is it just me? Are you in it, too? Every day and every minute shouldn't be a competition Is it just me? Are you in it, too? Don't have to tell a fire to burn Don't have to teach a bluebird to fly Don't have to tell the rain when to fall From a September sky Don't have to tell my heart when to leap Out my chest when I'm with you Don't have to tell me how to love you, baby It's just something I do Don't have to tell me how to love you, baby It's just something I do Something I do
