Letra Why can't you be Third Eye Blind

Why can't you be

Are you frightened by the weight you possess
Is this life just promise-less
The smoggy twilight in LA
I can't think of one right thing to say
Robbie williams is walking in the canyons
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 a waterpik shower massager
A sweet reliable machine
To tell the truth
She don't feel less alone
Water massager's the purest love she's ever known
Why can't you be
When I was 13
Why can't you be
Like an art house foreign movie
Frank and sexy, red balloons and ennui
And allude to me
Why can't you beA little more of a mystery
Why can't you be
The part of me that's missing
Instead of leaving me for some other
Said we're perfect for each other

Why can't you be
Like an outsourced government contract
And I'm a fat cat
Gettin' away with anything
Kicking some secret special powers
Illumination round it showers
And your tearing your hair out
While we can have a bed of flowers
Why can't you be
A little more in love than in lust
When it's just the two of us
Sometimes a blowjob's not enough
Why can't you be
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 wanna spend my life with her

Me
My life
Separately
I knew you
Could you forget about me and live alone

When we're dead, we will have eternity.
And I will, and I will
Be with you and you with me

So while I'm alive
I will always be

Why can't you be
A little more deep into me
Like JD Salinger
Why do I challenge her
In all its purpose
Ways that you must prove
Why can't you be
A little more release
Why can't you be
Like a hand rolled cigarette
I'm not choking
This masochistic self-pity of smoking
And this city dew
I keep provoking you to leave me
She said
Why can't you be
Like a candle I can snuff
You're still a diamond in the rough
And I swear to god I've had enough
How can I call your bluff?
