Why

Why don't you ever want to talk to me
I stare at the sky always wondering why
You only call when I call
And you don't stop by
So, let me be the set of strings
That answer you when you sing
They say, "Why can't I fall in love
I can't hear my heartbeat over the drums."
Why can't I be something you can use:
A tank of gasoline when your car's already full
Why can't I be that headline in the news
That says
Let me be the battery
You put into your tape machine
So you can hear me sing
But now I'm running out of energy
Why can't I be something you can use:
A tank of gasoline when your car's already full
Why can't I be that headline in the news
That says things are working out for the people you love
Things are working out for the people you tried to
