From the recording HALL OF FRAMES
Lyrics
WHY CAN’T WE
It’s hard to open up your heart today
You just might turn all your friends away
Today you gotta make a choice and pick a side
Keep a friend or hold on to your pride
Why can’t we go back to where we were before
Why can’t we go back to that place once more
I don’t have many friends who come to stay
I don’t want to get too close to the hate
I sit here working in my world alone
Everything I need to know is on my phone
Why can’t we go back to where we were before
Why can’t we go back to that place once more
Seems like everybody needs to know where you stand
Before they smile or reach out for your hand
I know the world turns and doesn’t stay the same
But the longer I live the less I need the fame
Why can’t we go back to where we were before
Why can’t we go back to that place once more
Why can’t we go back to where we were before
Why can’t we go back to that place once more
