lyrics

today i learned how to make nothing out of something
what i meant to say is i learned to make everything okay when it wasn't
and as the sun does shine, in a way so does the rain
everything ventured, everything gained

and today i met a blind man, who asked me why i couldn't see
all of the beauty right in front of me
oh he told me to dance oh he told me to sing
he said its the only way to be free

and my unfinished sentences get fished out of the sea by your hands
you try to make sense of it all but you cant make water out of sand
and as the sun does shine, well again so does the rain
and for every bad, comes a couple good days.

and my love is not a license, no my love is not a key
and i do not own you and my darling you don't own me
and my love is not a license, no my love is not a key
and i do not own you and my darling you don't own me
