I forgot that love existed troubled in my mind
Heartache after heartache, worried all the time
I forgot that love existed
And then I saw the light
Everyone around me seems to make everything alright

Oh, Socrates and Plato
Praised it to the skies
Everyone that ever loved
Everyone that ever tried

If my heart could do the thinking
And my head begin to feel
I'd look upon the world anew
And know what's truly real

I forgot that love existed
And that it strangled up my heart
Then I turned a brand new leaf
Made of brand new stories

If my heart could do my thinking
And my head begin to feel
I'd look upon the world anew
And I'd know know, what's truly real
What's truly real, while I'd find out really what's truly real
