How thick is a surface? Why this and not that? The only question you should ask Or maybe what is the deepest you I'm in long it I've said it before and I'll say again I'm complex and intellectual But I will say choose to be loved Why this and not that? The only question you should ask, or maybe Long into make everybody cry I want us all to cry together
