Lyrics for How Many Disasters

Living out my life as though I knew how it was done I have sat upon many a hillside in the sun Same old feelings have their way of coming back around Makes me wonder why I ever bother leaving town All that time I was trying to be clever Didn't know that I'd be loving you forever All the years I spent chasing a meaning How unfair to have a heart that's still beating When I can't just love a moment that's fleeting When I can't just love a moment that's fleeting How many disasters will it take to make you smile Haven't seen you laughing at yourself in quite a while People that you love that never learn how to speak with Sometimes what you don't gain, it's another kind of gift All that time I was trying to be clever Didn't know that I'd be loving you forever All the years I spent chasing a meaning How unfair to have a heart that's still beating How unfair to have a heart that's still beating How unfair to have a heart that's still beating
