One Good Reason

As we travel down this desperate road,
We come upon a great divide.
I reach out to grab a hold,
But you say I've got nothing to hang on to.

As we wander through these dead end halls,
We come across a creeping vine.
In my attempt to scale the walls,
You say I've got no leg to stand on.

Well, while I'm down on my knees,
Give me one good reason.
While I'm begging and I'm pleading,
Give me one good reason why,
If there are changes in the seasons,
Give me one good reason why you and I won't make a change.

We've run the course and paid the price
For true love and it's pot of gold
A fortune lost with treasured lies
When you say I've got nothing to bank on.

Well, while I'm down on my knees,
Give me one good reason.
While I'm begging and I'm pleading,
Give me one good reason why,
If there are changes in the seasons,
Give me one good reason why you and I won't make a change.

Don't bring the curtain down on me.
Don't bring the curtain down on me.
We've rehearsed these lines but we've lost our place.
It's a shame we won't change.

As we cast ourselves into the sea,
We run into a tangled line.
I reach out to set you free,
But you say I 've left you shipwrecked and stranded.

Well, while I'm down on my knees,
Give me one good reason.
While I'm begging and I'm pleading,
Give me one good reason why,
If there are changes in the seasons,
Give me one good reason why you and I won't make a change.
'Cause if I got what you're needing
Give me one good reason why you and I won't make a change.
Don't bring the curtain down on me.
