Can't See Why

Blues Traveler


Kiss away the morning hour
In need of some restraint
While raised to think knowledge is power 
I've come to learn it ain't
Because here I go when the hat drops
In the lion's mouth for more 
And this time there's no illusion 
For what I've got in store 

And it comes and it goes 
And eventually slows
And we lie and we trade 
And I guess destiny is made 

And I can't see why but I do it anyway 
You reap what you sow, oh so the poets say 

Well she knew my name and she came to me 
And she wanted to spend some time 
And she looked soft to touch so it's the same you see
I just wanted to make her mine 
So here we are just standing there 
Trying to figure out why we're there 
Attempting some connection
While we're brave enough to care 

And we try and we fail 
And oh the sirens how they wail 
And it's bad and it's good 
Does it matter if we should?

And I can't see why but I do it anyway 
You reap what you sow, oh so the poets say 

And you can't see me and I do that carefully
And this time we have is enough to make you laugh

And I can't see why but I do it anyway
You reap what you sow, oh so the poets say
