Why

(album: A Present For Everyone - 2003)

Look at me up in the sky
I watch the world just pass me by
And all my feelings give me away
It's happening more everyday

Loving you could be so easy
Loving you could be so great
Loving you could be so easy
Loving you could be so great

But how can I try to explain
Your story never seems to stay the same
You're out of touch and I'm out of time
Just talk to me a while
And joke about the things we used to see
It's so hard for me to smile

I've never felt so alone
After all of this there's so much left to lose
And I've taken pieces home
I promise you I never meant to

But how can I complain?
When everybody seems to know my name
You're out of luck and I'm out of line
It's such a selfish compromise
Self indulgent, useless, bunch of lies
I never thought you would believe

Hold me now don't wake me up
Pull me down and then back up
All again for all to see
Low down whisper and guilty stare
Your stagnant beauty makes me glare
Silly games in the sun
In the sun
In the sun
Ooh in the sun

But how can I complain?
Your story never seems to stay the same
I'm out of luck and you're out of line
It's such a selfish compromise
Self indulgent, useless, bunch of lies
I never thought you would believe

Go!

Loving you could be so easy
Loving you could be so great
Loving you would be so easy
Loving you could be so great

Maybe a change would keep me high
Stop me thinking and wondering why
