lyrics

I thought I died today
but woke up in a curious state
thats when it occurred to me
I fall in love with everything I hate

I bet myself I'd lose the bet
in doing so I won it instead
by a double negative
life has got a funny way of turning around

Oh if what it is
is all there is
then maybe it isn't
all what it seems
but if it seems, well
then I guess it is

I dreamed I kissed my one true love
then married him while dreaming that dream
then after ever after came
the bride woke up and left me sleeping

I said dear bride how could this be
if you are me and I am sleeping?
I cannot not be dreaming
life has got a funny way of turning you out

Oh if what it is
is all there is
then maybe it isn't
all what it seems
but if it seems, well
then I guess it is

I cannot not rely on my own instincts
I can't not trust them to be true

wondering if he doesn't love me not
wondering if he took the best of what I got
I'm wondering if he doesn't love me not
wondering if he took the best of what I got

I thought I died today
but woke up in a curious state
thats when it occurred to me
I fall in love with everything I hate

I bet myself I'd lose the bet
in doing so I won it instead
by a double negative
life has got a funny way of turning around

oh if what it is
is all there is
then maybe it isn't
all what it seems
but if it seems
then I guess it is

oh what I didn't not know back then when I didn't know that I didn't not know
oh what i didn't not know back then when I didn't know that I didn't not know
oh what I didn't not know back then when I didn't know that I didn't not know
Oh what I didn't not know back then.
