Lyrics for What Comes After Certainty

True love is not magic It's certainty And what comes after certainty? A world of mystery I stood on the surf in Kauai While my love videoed me On honeymoon The passenger is the driver in ecstasy And God's face on the water Though plain to see It's still hard to read Well, I never thought I'd make it this far Little old house, recent-model car And I got the woman of my dreams And an imitation Eames And I signed Willie's guitar He sang "Hey good lookin', what you got cookin'?" And I signed Willie's guitar when he wasn't looking Well, I don't believe in fate I believe in destiny My destiny is swerving in the road in front me, drunkenly When you take responsibility for your own divinity True love is not magic It's certainty And what comes after certainty?
