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
