[offset:0]
[00:01.19]Are you frightened by
[00:02.30]The weight you possess  Oh
[00:04.14]
[00:04.87]Is this life just weightlessness
[00:06.24]
[00:06.89]And smoggy twilight in LA
[00:09.68]
[00:11.14]I can't think of one real thing to say
[00:14.20]And you and me are walking
[00:15.94]In the canyons
[00:16.86]
[00:17.97]She forgets that we were friends
[00:19.91]
[00:20.49]I guess it all depends on your mood
[00:23.64]
[00:25.45]Why can't these meds be any damn good
[00:28.61]
[00:30.54]And she said  why can't you be
[00:34.17]Like my Waterpik shower massager
[00:35.97]
[00:37.17]A sweet reliable machine
[00:40.59]
[00:41.87]And to tell the truth
[00:43.12]I don't feel less alone
[00:45.07]
[00:45.89]A water massager's the purest love
[00:48.56]I've ever known
[00:49.69]
[00:51.80]Why can't you be like
[00:53.28]
[00:56.07]When I was thirteen
[00:57.57]
[00:58.34]And I said  why can't you be
[01:00.40]
[01:01.72]Like an art house foreign movie
[01:03.43]
[01:04.39]Frank and sexy  red balloons and ennui
[01:08.20]
[01:09.12]And allude to me and why can't you be
[01:12.85]
[01:14.97]A little more of a mystery
[01:17.19]
[01:17.81]Why can't you be the part of me
[01:21.09]
[01:21.61]That's missing
[01:22.23]
[01:23.00]Instead of leaving me for some other
[01:25.12]
[01:25.94]Said we're perfect for each other
[01:28.09]
[01:28.88]And I know we won't go spend
[01:32.03]This life alone
[01:35.62]
[01:36.33]And she said  why can't you be
[01:38.77]
[01:39.90]Like an outsourced government contract
[01:42.63]I'm a fat cat getting away with anything
[01:46.04]
[01:47.19]Kicking some secret special powers
[01:50.25]
[01:50.80]Illumination rounds in showers
[01:53.53]
[01:55.28]'Cause you're tearing your hair out
[01:56.78]
[01:58.11]While we can have a bed of flowers
[02:00.08]
[02:00.96]And I said  why can't you be
[02:03.42]
[02:04.45]Like the chicks out on the road
[02:06.53]Some girls are happy just to see me
[02:09.91]'Cause you got moxy and a broken nose
[02:12.80]Take 'em away from this prose
[02:14.92]
[02:15.75]Sometimes a blow job's not enough
[02:18.59]
[02:20.38]Why can't you play a little less rough
[02:25.61]
[02:26.69]Why can't you be the part of me
[02:30.39]That's missing
[02:30.91]
[02:31.73]Instead of leaving me for some other
[02:33.84]
[02:34.74]Say we're perfect for each other
[02:36.86]
[02:37.99]And I know we won't go spend
[02:40.98]This life alone
[02:44.53]
[02:50.24]Can we just leave it be
[02:57.39]
[03:02.52]We could live our lives separately
[03:09.67]
[03:14.55]Could you forget what happens to you
[03:19.16]
[03:20.82]To you and me
[03:21.95]
[03:26.87]When we're dead and we'll be dead
[03:31.38]
[03:32.48]We'll have eternity
[03:33.83]
[03:37.84]And I will spend it all  missing you
[03:43.54]
[03:45.05]Missing you and me
[03:46.11]
[03:50.05]So while I'm alive I will always be
[03:58.84]
[04:03.86]Seeking you out  digging you out
[04:06.36]Wondering about how it goes
[04:08.57]So far down
[04:09.45]And what's wrong with you
[04:10.58]
[04:11.77]What's wrong with you and me
[04:13.48]
[04:15.35]And she said  why can't you be
[04:17.85]
[04:18.46]Someone looking deeper into me
[04:21.06]
[04:21.86]Like JD Salinger
[04:23.57]
[04:24.32]Why do I challenge her
[04:26.74]In all these selfish ways
[04:28.86]That you displease
[04:29.80]
[04:30.72]Why can't you be a little more at ease
[04:35.09]Well  why can't you be
[04:37.85]
[04:38.81]Like a hand rolled cigarette
[04:40.94]I'm not joking
[04:41.75]
[04:42.58]This masochistic self-pity of smoking
[04:47.27]
[04:48.22]And this city ditty
[04:49.66]
[04:50.66]I keep provoking you to leave me
[04:54.09]
[04:56.67]And she said
[04:57.30]
[04:57.93]Why can't you be like a candle
[05:01.02]I can snuff
[05:01.98]
[05:02.80]You're still the diamond in the rough
[05:05.11]
[05:06.11]And I swear to God I've had enough
[05:09.60]
[05:10.22]How can I call your bluff
[05:16.28]Why cant you be - Third Eye Blind
