“Why Not Me” is a light-hearted poppy song about summertime. While Forrest’s friends around him are indulging in earthly possessions, he’s enjoying just being alive.
[Chorus]
Oh, all the best in life are free
So why not me, so why not me?
Never did I have to ask the sun
To shine on me, shine on me
Oh, all the best in life are free
So why not me, why not me?
Never did I have to ask the sun
To shine on me, aye, to shine on me
[Verse 1]
Okay, okay, 'kay, okay, okay
I've been stuck inside my head from November to May
But now I got these blue skies, palm trees, new eyes
Y'all can take the green stuff, I'll be on a view high
{Pre-Chorus}
New vibe and it feels just like the old me
Back when I was younger, undercover, feeling so free
Ghost you, but you better never ghost me
I'm an introvert, but man, this weather's got me hosting
[Chorus]
Oh, all the best in life are free
So why not me, so why not me?
Never did I have to ask the sun
To shine on me, shine on me
Oh, all the best in life are free
So why not me, why not me?
Never did I have to ask the sun
To shine on me, aye, to shine on me
[Verse 2]
Hey, this that fire
Sunshine’s out, so grab a visor
Peter Piper picked a pack of swisher's and a lighter
Ha, getting hired? Nah, right now we’re getting higher
Sunny D got us like Icarus except much drier
Mmm, my confession
Sunshine is my obsession
You’da probably noticed you're way too possessed by your possessions
You just sit there scrolling
I’m going to a place where I don’t have to deal with loading and the terms and conditions
I’m concerned with these traditions
While the fake be taking pictures, all the lonely taking pictures
We say that we’re all Christian still, got hatred in our vision
We’re just kids running through life and comparison’s our scissors
[Bridge]
Check the scriptures
Wake up, breathe, relax, remember, aye
There's way more to life than getting retweets on your Twitter
Hey, baby, put your phone down, put your phone down
Put ya phone down
Put ya put ya phone down
[Chorus]
Oh, all the best in life are free
So why not me, so why not me?
Never did I have to ask the sun
To shine on me, shine on me
Oh, all the best in life are free
So why not me, why not me?
Never did I have to ask the sun
To shine on me
