Ten months of pent-up passion
In a single torrid kiss
Awakens every nerve
To greet the feelings they once knew

Her mind and body reeling
From this sudden state of bliss,
She grips him tightly knowing
That with nightfall, they'll be through

Do things happen for a reason
Or is reason just a lie
A facade designed to comfort those
Afraid to live and die
She'll know in time, if she can wait
With leaden hope inside her heart
And she'll blame it all on reason
When her whole world falls apart

His scent alone can trigger
A thousand buried memories
Once trapped inside the caverns
That line her troubled mind

Her hands pull him closer
To feel his sweat-soaked skin
And the warmth she had forgotten
But had always wished to find

Did this happen for a reason
Or is reason just a lie
A facade designed to comfort those
Afraid to live and die
She'll know in time, if she can wait
With leaden hope inside her heart
And she'll blame it all on reason
When her whole world falls apart

And every time she falls
She finds this cold cliché
Lying where she left it
When she turned away
She picks it up, she dusts it off
And she holds in to her chest
Forcing the belief that this
Will turn out for the best

Do things happen for a reason
Or is reason just a lie
A facade designed to comfort those
Afraid to live and die
She'll know in time, if she can wait
With leaden hope inside her heart
And she'll blame it all on reason
When her whole world falls apart

And maybe fate will help her
Maybe fall will be her season
And when reality reflects her dreams
She'll say it happened for a reason
