[00:00.00]Third Eye Blind - Why Can't You Be
[00:00.30]
[00:00.78]Are you frightened by the weight you possess
[00:04.50]Or is this lie just weightlessness, and
[00:06.99]Smoggy twilight in L.A.
[00:10.79]I can’t think of one real thing to say
[00:13.80]And you and me are walking in the canyons
[00:17.55]She forgets that we were friends
[00:20.10]I guess it all depends on your mood
[00:24.80]Why can’t these meds be any damn good
[00:29.10]
[00:29.98]And she said,
[00:31.43]Why can’t you be like my water pick shower massager
[00:36.66]A sweet reliable machine
[00:41.38]And to tell the truth I don’t feel less alone
[00:45.37]My water massager’s the purest love I’ve ever known
[00:51.15]Why can’t you be, like when I was thirteen
[00:57.38]
[00:57.69]He said
[00:58.74]Why can’t you be
[01:01.30]Like an art house foreign movie
[01:03.85]Frank and sexy, red balloons and ennui
[01:08.95]And aloof to me and
[01:11.15]Why can’t you be, a little more of a mystery
[01:17.03]Why can’t you be
[01:19.15]The part of me that’s missing
[01:22.38]Instead of leaving me for some other
[01:25.24]Say we’re perfect for each other
[01:28.30]And I know we won’t spend this life
[01:34.83]Alone
[01:35.82]She said,
[01:37.09]Why can’t you be
[01:39.51]Like an out sourced government contract
[01:42.28]I’m a fat cat getting away with anything
[01:46.70]Kicking some secret special powers
[01:50.37]Illumination rounds in showers
[01:53.54]
[01:54.78]’Cause your tearing our hair out
[01:57.62]When we could have a bed of flowers
[02:00.36]And I said,
[02:01.48]Why can’t you be
[02:03.92]Like the chicks out on the road
[02:06.03]Some girls are happy just to see me
[02:09.39]Cause you got moxie and a broken nose
[02:12.15]You take em away from this prose
[02:15.11]Sometimes a blow job’s not enough
[02:19.84]Why can’t you play
[02:23.74]A little less rough
[02:25.32]
[02:25.78]Why can't you be, the part of me that's missing
[02:31.05]Instead of leaving me for some other,
[02:34.01]say we're perfect for each other,
[02:37.18]and I know we won't go spend this life, alone.
[02:44.49]
[02:49.49]Can we, just leave it be
[03:01.75]We could live our lives
[03:08.00]Separately
[03:13.66]Could you forget
[03:17.21]What happens to you, to you and me
[03:25.85]When we’re dead
[03:29.37]And we’ll be dead
[03:31.43]We’ll have eternity
[03:36.83]And I will spend it all
[03:41.75]Missing you, missing you and me
[03:48.99]So while I’m alive
[03:56.30]I will always be
[04:02.74]Seeking you out, diggin' you out,
[04:05.88]wondering about
[04:07.02]How’d we go so far down
[04:09.24]And what’s wrong with you,
[04:11.19]what's wrong with you and me
[04:15.79]She said,
[04:15.81]Why can’t you be,
[04:18.02]someone looking a little deeper into me
[04:21.42]Like J.D. Salinger,
[04:23.85]Why do I challenge her
[04:26.22]In all the surface ways that you displease
[04:30.32]Why can’t you be a little more at ease, well
[04:35.77]Why can’t you be, like a hand rolled cigarette
[04:40.15]I’m not joking
[04:42.04]This masochistic, self-pity of smoking
[04:47.64]And this silly ditty I keep provoking you
[04:52.96]To leave me
[04:54.21]
[04:56.07]And she said,
[04:57.32]Why can’t you be like a candle I can snuff
[05:02.14]You’re still a diamond in the rough
[05:05.47]And I swear to god I’ve had enough
[05:09.55]How can I
[05:14.55]Call your bluff
[05:16.27]
