If and when and why
If and when and why

If you’re filled with doubt, I can help you out
I can help you out

Nothing
Nothing’s for certain
Nothing
Even nothing is uncertain
What would it be?
What could be completely
Without any of you

How would you know?
If it happened
To you and me and we

I’m stuck inside at home
I can help you out

If and when and why
If and when and why

It’s just the beginning
It’s well passed the end
Of the time when it
Can never happen again
Time
Time
I suppose there was always a first time
But so many things are similar
Just have degrees
Degrees

What is ecstasy
What is ecstasy
On some days it’s just the breeze

On days like these
There are other things on my mind
The whole world’s gone
Changed
I just heard it on the news

If and when and why
If and when and why

Don’t break it, don’t break it
It’s a time to make a lot of friends
Again again make friend
Pursued me in songs that I aught to play along
Play along

What would it be
If we can’t all agree
The thing we share with all of us
Is we’re alive

If and when and why
If and when and why

Nothing could be finer than to be?
What I’m going to say, it’s obvious
You’ve got to be Alive
It doesn’t matter what you say
It’s obvious
You’ve got to be alive

Doesn’t matter what you say
You’ve got to be…
