2020 marked the 10 year anniversary of Lissie’s debut album Catching a Tiger. To celebrate this, and also combined with the fact that she got the rights back to her first two albums, she released this song which was written and recorded in 2008 for her debut album but did not make the cut.
If I came here to stay
With a seed to sow and lay
On the ground
Wait for sound
Hear the call and resound
I let it slip from my hand
Just because I can
Just because I can
Find a home
Find a friend
Find a role you can pretend
Get the cash
Make it match
From the outside to the in
I let it slip from my hand
Just because I can
Just because I can
And this may be the only way
I can save me
Get down on my knees and pray
I am maybe
If you know what is right
By the heart that beats inside
Calm it's pace and erase
Or decide to join the fight
Don't let it slip from your hand
Just because you can
Just because you can
And this may be the only way
I can save me
Get down on my knees and pray
I am maybe
Hold my tongue
Or tell the take
Wise up lady
Oh my soul
Don't let me fail
Why am I maybe
Who wouldn't want to be restless for awhile
I wanna try & stay in between the lines
Who couldn't see what is righteous
What is vile
One is grace and
One's denial
La-dee-dah-dee-dah
La-dee-dah-dee-dah
La-dee-dah-dee-dah
La-dee-dah-dee-dah
And this may be the only way
I can save me
Get down on my knees and pray
I am maybe
Hold my tongue
Or tell the take
Wise up lady
Oh my soul
Don't let me fail
Why am I maybe
I'll pray
I'll pray
I'll pray
I'll pray
I'll pray
My innocence is going away
I'll pray
I'll change, I'm startled sick, I'm wide awake
I'll pray
I'll pray
I'll pray
I'll pray
What's right, what's right, why fight it, why fight
What's right, what's right, why
Just because
Just because I can I can
Just because I can
Just Because I Can was written by Paul Fox & Lissie & Curt Schneider.
Just Because I Can was produced by Jacquire King.
Lissie released Just Because I Can on Fri Jul 31 2020.
