2
But it ain't no secret, just ask around
3
Some heart-sick man fed up with his fate
4
Torched it to the ground in a desparate state
5
He'd grown tired of the tragedies
6
Tired of the death
7
Tired of watching Romeo take
8
One last breath
9
For something as crazy as love
10
The gave him all the books, but never taught him to read
11
So when she first kissed him, I heard him beg and plead

He saw the storm on the water, he felt every swell
13
He was on top of a mountain then in the belly of a whale
14
"˜Cause some days it's a fountain
15
Or an artesian well
16
Sometimes it's a bag of bricks
17
Or some kind of spell

Where a space belongs

For something as simple as love
