Why Can't I?

(앨범: One More In The Attic - 2006)

I was down by the water
and I was so scared.
So frightened by
the crashing waves.
And you were right beside me
and you were so prepared,
so unafraid.
You were laughing in the rain.

Why can't we be each other's wings?
Carrying each other away
from unfortunate things.
We were there when it mattered
and that is all we need
to carry us away.

So, why can't we fly?
Why can't we fly away from uncertainty?
And why cant we fly?
Why can't I?

You always knew what you needed
and I was so unsure.
You shook the ground I walked upon.
So understandably you stepped away
to give me a little time to look around
and catch my breath.

You know I don't want to walk alone,
I wanna walk together with you now.

Why can't we be each other's wings?
Carrying each other away
from unfortunate things.
We were there when it mattered
and that is all we need
to carry us away.

So, why can't we fly?
Why can't we fly away from uncertainty?
And why cant we fly?
Why can't I?
Why can't I?
For so long.
Its been a while since these clouds have been lifted.
Why can't I leave it all behind
or rise above it all and fly?

I was down the water
and I was so scared.
