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
