What a Fool Believes

He came from somewhere back in her long ago
 The sentimental fool don't see
 Tryin' hard to recreate
 What is yet to be created once in her life
 She musters a smile for his nostalgic tale
 Never coming near what he wanted to say
 Only to realize it never really was
 She had a place in his life
 He never made her think twice
 As he rises to her apology
 Anybody else would surely know
 He's watching her go
 But what a fool believes, he sees
 No wise man has the power to reason away
 What seems to be is always better than nothing
 Than nothing at all
 Keeps sending him somewhere back in her long ago
 Where he can still believe there's a place in her life
 Someday, somewhere, somehow
 She will return
 She had a place in his life
 He never made her think twice
 As he rises to her apology
 Anybody else would surely know
 He's watching her go
 But what a fool believes, he sees
 No wise man has the power to reason away
 What seems to be (love can't go, love can't go, why can't love go?)
 Is always better than nothing (fool's got the power, baby)
 Than nothing at all (fool's got the power, I know I should've gone away)
 Believes, he sees (love can't go, love can't go, why can't love go?)
 No wise man has the power to reason away
 (Fool's got the power, baby, fool's got the power)
 What seems to be (love can't go, love can't go, why can't love go?)
 Is always better than nothing
 Than nothing at all (I knew I should've gone away)
 Believes, he sees (love can't go, love can't go, why can't love go?)
 No wise man has the power to reason away
 (Fool's got the power, baby, fool's got the power)
 What seems to be (love can't go, love can't go, why can't love go?)
 Is always better than nothing
 Than nothing at all
 I'm sorry I fucked that up
 Just keep the tape rolling
 How much tape do we got? (About two reels)
 Have we got enough for a whole night? (Yeah)
 That's good 'cause I fucked this up a lot
 Okay, I started writing this song about Burt Lancaster
 But it ended up being about Gene Kelly and Fred Astaire for some reason
 And it's a little bit of big Jim Leah too in it
 Pour a little out for Chester Bennington
 (Hold up) how much time did you say we have?
 (About 30 minutes) how much time have we got in the studio?
 (All night, about half an hour) not a lot of time
 Alright, I'll stop fucking around and get to the song
