Well, you sit there thinkin' things through
Tryin' to line up all the facts in a neat little row
Got your reasons all stacked up high
Yeah, you figure you know just how things gotta go

You weigh the pros and cons, make a mental checklist
Try to be logical and clear
But then somethin' kinda sideways hits you
Somethin' you just can't hold back, somethin' you just gotta feel right here

It ain't about the numbers or the sensible advice
It ain't about the shoulds or the oughts you been told
It's that gut feeling deep down inside you
The one that makes you brave or makes you feel cold

Like seein' a puppy lost on the roadside
And your brain says keep on walkin'
But your heart screams out you gotta help that little soul
And suddenly all your careful reasons just crumble and roll

And it all comes down to this crazy mix inside
The thinkin' part of you tryin' to make sense of the ride
But then that feelin' jumps in, a little voice or a shout
Turnin' your perfect logic kinda inside out

Yeah, the reasons might line up all neat and so precise
But the heart's got its own compass, rollin' the dice
And you can try to fight it, you can try to pretend
But in the end, those reasons and emotions, they always blend

Or maybe it's someone lookin' you right in the eye
And they ain't sayin' nothin' but you just understand
A connection clicks, a spark kinda flies
And all your plans for bein' independent just slip through your hand

You can't explain it with a chart or a graph
Can't break it down into steps one, two, and three
It's just this pull, this invisible laugh
This crazy, messy thing we call you and me

We build these walls with our logic and our sense
Tryin' to keep the chaos and the wildness at bay
Thinkin' that if we just make things make sense
Then somehow we'll be safer at the end of the day

But emotions are like a river, they just keep on flowin'
Sometimes gentle, sometimes a powerful tide
And tryin' to dam it up just ain't worth the growin'
'Cause it'll always find a way to break through inside

And it all comes down to this crazy mix inside
The thinkin' part of you tryin' to make sense of the ride
But then that feelin' jumps in, a little voice or a shout
Turnin' your perfect logic kinda inside out

Yeah, the reasons might line up all neat and so precise
But the heart's got its own compass, rollin' the dice
And you can try to fight it, you can try to pretend
But in the end, those reasons and emotions, they always blend

So you can have your reasons all lined up in a row
You can think you got it figured out, black and white and clean
But don't forget that wild card that nobody can know
That sudden rush of feelin' that can change the whole scene

'Cause life ain't just a puzzle to be solved with your brain
It's a messy, beautiful tangle of heart and of mind
And sometimes the biggest truths we ever gain
Are the ones that our reasons just leave behind

And it all comes down to this crazy mix inside
The thinkin' part of you tryin' to make sense of the ride
But then that feelin' jumps in, a little voice or a shout
Turnin' your perfect logic kinda inside out

Yeah, the reasons might line up all neat and so precise
But the heart's got its own compass, rollin' the dice
And you can try to fight it, you can try to pretend
But in the end, those reasons and emotions, they always blend
