So She Said (Why)

I take long walks in the morning, sometimes.
To gather thoughts and clear up my mind.
See the sights and read the headlines.
Watch time go by and try not to fall behind...
I'm falling further behind.

She's just a cloudy memory.
Only something that used to be.
I sit at home so quietly.
And wonder why nothing ever happens to me...
Nothing ever happens to me.

Why is this city such a crowded mess?
Why can't I find true happiness?
Or someone who will just say yes?
Why do I search for tenderness?
When I cause so much abrasiveness?
Why can't I just say yes?

I need a shot, I need a spark.
I need a lifeline. Have a heart.
I'm falling, falling, further apart.
And I'm just itching, waiting for something to start...
I'm waiting for something to start.

Why don't I search for higher highs?
I just look for things to buy.
And tell myself dumb little lies.
Why don't I ever socialize?
Why can't I look you in your eyes?
And why do I keep asking why?

Oh my God, it can't be true.
It can't be me. It must be you.
She said "My darling, it takes two.
It's something you'll just have to get through."
I'll have to break on through.

I take long walks in the evening sometimes.
Helps ease the pain of doing hard time.
Look up, stand tall, walk a straight line.
Before we know it, it will be summertime...
It will be summertime.

Why is this city such a crowded mess?
Why can't I find true happiness?
Or someone who will just say yes?
Why do I search for tenderness?
When I cause so much abrasiveness?
Why can't I just say yes?
Why don't I search for higher highs?
I just look for things to buy.
And tell myself dumb little lies.
Why don't I ever socialize?
Why can't I look you in your eyes?
And why do I keep asking why?
