Life Doesn't Make Sense

Hot water freezes faster than cold
Wearing layers in the heat keeps you cool
Hummingbirds are the most aggressive bird
Sometimes life doesn't make sense

There are seashell fossils on mountain tops
On Venus, a day is longer than a year
Your head ages slightly faster than your feet
Sometimes life doesn't make sense

I know I'm not perfect
And neither are we
But together we could have been
Because 
Sometimes life just doesn't make sense

But what is sense
When you stop to think
A spiral like that
Could drive you to drink

You can rationalize
Justify
Make recompense
But sometimes life just doesn't make sense
