Letra de Why Can’t You Be - Third Eye Blind

Are you frightened by the weight you possess or

Is this life just weightlessness?

And smoggy twilight in LA

I can't think of one real thing to say

And you and me are walking in the canyons

She forgets that we were friends

I guess it all depends on your mood

Why can't these meds be any damn good?

And she said, "Why can't you be

Like my waterpik shower massager?

A sweet reliable machine

And to tell the truth I don't feel less alone

My water massager's the purest love

I've ever known

Why can't you be

Like when I was thirteen?"

And I said, "Why can't you be

Like an art house foreign movie?

Frank and sexy, red balloons and ennui

And aloof to me, and

Why can't you be

A little more of a mystery?"

Why can't you be

The part of me that's missing?

Instead of leaving me for some other

Say we're perfect for each other

And I know we won't spend this life alone

And she said, "But why can't you be

Like an outsourced government contract?

I'm a fat cat getting away with anything

Kicking some secret special powers

Illumination rounds in showers

'Cause you're tearin' your hair out

While we can have a bed of flowers"

And I said, "Well, why can't you be

Like the chicks out on the road?

Some girls are happy just to see me

'Cause you got moxie and a broken nose

You take 'em away from this prose

Sometimes a blowjob's not enough

Why can't you play

A little less rough?"

Why can't you be

The part of me that's missing?

Instead of leaving me for some other

Say we're perfect for each other

And I know we won't go spend this life alone

Can we

Just leave it be?

We can live

Our lives separately

Could you forget what happens to you

To you and me?

When we're dead, and we'll be dead

We'll have eternity

And I will spend it all, missing you

Missin' you and me

So while I'm alive

I will always be

Seekin' you out, diggin' you out, wonderin' about

How we go so far down

And what's wrong with you

What's wrong with you and me?

And she said, "Why can't you be

Someone looking deeper into me?

Like J.D. Salinger

Why do I challenge her

In all these surface ways that you displease?

Why can't you be

A little more at ease?

Well, why can't you be

Like a hand rolled cigarette, I'm not joking

This masochistic self-pity of smoking

And this city ditty, I keep provokin' you to leave me"

And she said, "Why can't you be

Like a candle I can snuff?

You're still the diamond in the rough

And I swear to God I've had enough

How can I call your bluff?"
