The fifth track from Incubus' second album S.C.I.E.N.C.E. demonstrates the band’s blend of genres, such as funk, psychedelia, hip-hop, metal and electro.
[Intro]
I wonder why, why
Why, why, why, why
Why, why, why
[Verse 1]
If I had a dime
For every time you walked away
I could afford to not give a shit
And buy a drink and drown the day
But your pockets, they are empty
Yeah, and mine are times two
So why not make an about-face
And accept the love I send to you?
[Pre-Chorus]
You're never gonna be content if you won't try
Try to see outside your line
There you go, you did it again
You act as if there's blinders on your eyes
[Chorus]
Should I apologize
If what I say burns your ears and stains your eyes?
Oh, did I crack your shell?
When it falls away, you'll see we exist as well
[Verse 2]
Like a bottle with the cork stuck
Your true ingredients trapped up inside
Through the cloudy glass we catch a glimpse of you
I guess the hard shell represents your pride
Oh, if only it could be different
We could uncover the you, you deny
Between two, a small discrepancy
One complicates and one simplifies
[Pre-Chorus]
You're never gonna be content if you don't try
Try to see outside your line
There you go, you did it again
You act as if there's blinders on your eyes
[Chorus]
Should I apologize
If what I say burns your ears and stains your eyes?
Oh, did I crack your shell?
When it falls away, you'll see we exist as well
[Post-Chorus]
(There you go, there you go, looks good)
Take those fucking blinders off your eyes
[Chorus]
So if I had a dime
For every time you walked away
You can bet your bottom dollar that
I'd be filthy rich by noon today
[Chorus]
Should I apologize
If what I say burns your ears and stains your eyes?
Oh, did I crack your shell?
When it falls away, you'll see we exist as well
Should I apologize
If what I say burns your ears and stains your eyes?
Oh, did I crack your shell?
When it falls away, you'll see we exist as well
