Guess I'd get along without you
   If I had no choice
   It's taken me this long to find you
  
   Done a lot of getting ready for this
   Some things we learn so slow
   But look at you, you've got plenty behind you
  
   (CHORUS:)
   There's lots of ways to hit the ground
   Not many answers to be found
   We're faced with mysteries profound
   And this is one of the best ones
  
   There are eight million mysteries
   In the naked body
   Can't even sight on some distant horizon
  
   Like the nine billion names of God
   Don't bring you any closer
   To anyone you can simply set eyes on
  
   But in the same way it's as real
   Don't always recognize what I feel
   But of the dancing scenes that life reveals
   This is one of the best ones
  
   Say what you will
   There's no snake oil or pill
   Can make love less painful or fine
   There's no theatre
   Even of the absurd
   Can express what goes on in this meeting of hearts and minds
  
   Guess I'd get along without you
   If I had no choice
   But please never make it so I have to
  
   Paid a lot of dues to get here
   And after all this life
   I'm a loser if I don't live with you
