Why
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Why aren't I one of there interesting people
Who's always got something to say
To not be contrived and to feel so alive
And to never have wasted a day
To go for long walks, have well informed talks
In a non-confrontational way
Why aren't I one of these interesting people
And why won't you stay?
I'm still having the same conversation
That I've been having for years
I just want to read and retain information
Just face up to my fears
I look at myself and it's so plain to see
All I need is to change
Not too much, I still want to be me
Everyone looks the same
Why is my phone full of so many numbers
And why doesn't anyone call?
Maybe they think that I'm always too busy
Or maybe I've no friends at all
When I'm watching TV, they're all out necking E's
And well obviously I'm appauled
Why is my phone full of so many numbers
And why don't you call?
I'm still having the same conversation
That I've been having for years
I just want to read and retain information
Just face up to my fears
I look at myself and it's so plain to see
All I need is to change
Not too much, I still want to be me
Everyone looks the same
I'm still having the same conversation
That I've been having for years
I just want to read and retain information
Just face up to my fears
I look at myself and it's so plain to see
All I need is to change
Not too much, I still want to be me
Everyone looks the same
