Why

(Album: Walking Like We Do - 2020)

We took a trip to the seaside
I held you tightly by the hand
We took a dip by the moonlight
You left your Nikes on the sand
I didn't come to see the ocean
I didn't come to see the sights
I know that something here is broken
And I can see it in your eyes

But I don't see why
No, I don't see why
No, I don't see why
No, I don't see why

I didn't come to hear the silence
And all the havoc it could wreak
I've never seen you with your tongue tied
I count the minutes till you speak
When did you get shy?
You're not yourself tonight
I see your red light
I see it in your eyes

But I don't see why
No, I don't see why
No, I don't see why
No, I don't see why

I'll be looking for the stars
From the backseat of your car
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
I'll be looking for the stars
From the backseat of your car
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

I didn't come to see the ocean
I didn't come to see the beach
I know that something here is broken
And I can see the pieces at my feet
When did you get shy?
You're not yourself tonight
While I just played dumb
You've been busy growing up

But I don't see why
No, I don't see why
No, I don't see why
No, I don't see why
No, I don't see why
No, I don't see why
No, I don't see why
No, I don't see why
