Why Did We Bother?

I used to wonder, why did you bother?
Distance from one unto the other.

Listen here my sister and my brother,
what would you care if you lost the other?
I always wondered why did we bother—
distance from one unto the other.

Oh, oh the sweetness follows.

It's these little things they can pull you under,
Live your life filled with joy and thunder.
Yeah, yeah we were all together
lost in our little lives



Michael Stipe, R.E.M.
