Mysteries of the World
Walker McGuire Lyrics

Why does beer have to taste so good
Reflecting on the enjoyment of beer and wondering why something that can be so delicious can also have negative consequences

But too much makes you feel so bad?
Acknowledging the adverse effects of overconsuming beer

Why are some days empty hooks
Questioning why some days can feel uneventful or unproductive

And some days it's every other casts
Contrasting the previous line by noting that other days can be highly productive or fulfilling

Is there a shooter on the grassy knoll?
Referencing the conspiracy theory around JFK's assassination and questioning whether the truth will ever be known

Where did D. B. Cooper go?
Referencing the infamous unsolved case of the hijacker who parachuted out of a plane and disappeared without a trace

Hell, where do socks in the dryer go?
Jokingly posing a lighthearted mystery that many people experience and cannot explain

I guess some things you ain't meant to know like
Acknowledging that there are some things in the world that cannot be explained or understood

How you look even better in the morning
Expressing admiration for the artist's partner and how attractive they look even after waking up

Wrapped up laying in my bed
Describing the comfort and intimacy of sharing a bed with the partner

How I did it, just don't get it
Reflecting on how fortunate the singer feels to have ended up with their partner despite not feeling like they necessarily deserved it

I look at you and just shake my head
Expressing amazement and disbelief at the artist's luck in having their partner

'Cause out of seven billion people on the planet
Highlighting the statistical improbability of the singer and their partner finding each other among the vast number of people in the world

Never understand it, how you ended up with me girl
Expressing continued confusion and disbelief at how the singer ended up in a relationship with their partner

It's just one of those mysteries of the world
Concluding that the singer's relationship with their partner is just one of many things in the world that cannot be fully explained or understood

If you'd had told me the night we met
Reflecting on how unlikely it seemed that the artist and their partner would end up together when they first met

I'd be sitting right here tonight
Expressing gratitude and appreciation for the relationship the artist has with their partner

Watching you slip into that dress
Observing the singer's partner getting dressed up and feeling enamored with their appearance

I'd said: You're out of your damn mind
Expressing disbelief at the idea that the singer and their partner would end up together given the unlikelihood of it happening

Here I am and honey there you go
Reflecting on how the artist has ended up in a happy relationship with their partner despite feeling like it was unlikely to happen

Blowing my mind again
Expressing continued amazement at how things have worked out for the artist and their partner

Yeah, I guess it just goes to show
Revealing that the artist has learned something from their relationship with their partner

Some things don't make no sense, like
Acknowledging that there are many things in life, including the singer's relationship, that cannot be fully explained or understood

Just one of those mysteries of the world
Reiterating that the artist's relationship is just one example of the many mysteries and unexplainable phenomena in the world

Just one of those mysteries of the world
Repeating the previous line to emphasize the point that the singer's relationship is just one of many inexplicable things in the world

'Cause out of seven billion people on the planet
Recalling the statistical improbability of the singer and their partner finding each other among the vast number of people in the world

Never understand it
Concluding that the singer will never fully understand why they ended up in a relationship with their partner, but they are grateful nonetheless
