Lyrics

[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]
