Song Description

A MAN RECITES A LIST OF THE WAY HE'S FAILED IN ATTEMPTING TO GAIN THE LOVE OF A WOMAN. DESPITE HIS PAST FAILURES HE CONTINUES HIS QUEST FOR HER LOVE, KNOWING THAT NOTHING WORTH KEEPING EVER COMES EASY.

Lyrics

VERSE
YOU'RE THE FISH I CAN'T CATCH
THE ITCH I CAN'T SCRATCH
THE WELL I CAN'T TAP
THE UNREADABLE MAP
THE FENCE I CAN'T JUMP
THE REASON I'M STUMPED
TO EAST TO MY WEST
THE NO TO MY YES

YOU'RE THE CAR THAT WON'T START
THE SEA THAT WON'T PART
THE NUT I CAN'T CRACK
THE QUEEN TO MY JACK
THE VERSE I CAN'T RHYME
AN UNSOLVABLE CRIME
YOU'RE THE GIFT THAT WON'T GIVE
BUT THE REASON I LIVE

CHORUS
NOTHING WORTH KEEPING
EVER COMES EASY
SO I'LL KEEP ON CHASING THIS DREAM
YOU'RE MY EVERYTHING
EVERYTHING BUT EASY TO ME

VERSE
YOU'RE THE KITE I CAN'T FLY
CHAMPAGNE I CAN'T BUY
THE KEY THAT WON'T TURN
THE WICK THAT WONT BURN
THE CLASS I CAN'T TEACH
THE NOTE I CAN'T REACH
THE WOOD I CAN'T CHOP
OH, BUT I'LL NEVER STOP

REPEAT CHORUS
