Nothing ever happens twice

Lyrics

Intro Why, you bitter hour, Do you fill yourself with needless fear? You are here—and so you must pass. You will pass—and that is why you’re beautiful. Verse 1 Nothing ever happens twice, And it never will again. That is why we are born Without a lesson, without a plan. And when our time has come, We leave without a rule— No one gets to live the same life twice, No matter how well we learned in school. Verse 2 Even if we were students, The slowest in the world, We could never take the same class again, Nor repeat a winter, nor a summer. Bridge No day will ever come again, No two nights are quite the same. No two kisses carry the same fire, No two eyes meet with the same gaze. Chorus Yesterday, when someone Spoke your name aloud, It felt as though a rose Had drifted through the clouds . Yesterday, when someone Spoke your name aloud, It felt as though a rose Had drifted through the clouds . Verse 4 Today, with you beside me, I turned my face toward the wall. A rose? What does a rose look like? Is it a flower—or maybe a stone? Bridge Why, you bitter hour, Do you fill yourself with needless fear? You are here—and so you must pass. You will pass—and that is why you’re beautiful. Chorus Yesterday, when someone Spoke your name aloud, It felt as though a rose Had drifted through the clouds . Yesterday, when someone Spoke your name aloud, It felt as though a rose Had drifted through the clouds . Verse 5 Smiling, holding each other, We try to find our way to peace. Though we are so different, Like two pure drops of water, Smiling, holding each other, We try to find our way to peace. Though we are so different, Like two pure drops of water Bridge (Outro) Why, you bitter hour, Do you fill yourself with needless fear? You are here—and so you must pass. You will pass—and that is why you’re beautiful.
