Why Can't You Be

Third Eye Blind
What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
Are you frightened by the weight you possess? Oh
2
Is this life just weightlessness?
3
And smoggy twilight in LA
4
I can't think of one real thing to say
5
And you and me are walking in the canyons
6
She forgets that we were friends
7
I guess it all depends on your mood
8
Why can't these meds be any damn good?
9
And she said, why can't you be
10
Like my Waterpik shower massager?
11
A sweet reliable machine
12
And to tell the truth I don't feel less alone
13
A water massager's the purest love I've ever known
14
Why can't you be like when I was thirteen?
15
And I said, why can't you be
16
Like an art house foreign movie?
17
Frank and sexy, red balloons and ennui
18
And allude to me and why can't you be
19
A little more of a mystery?
20
Why can't you be the part of me that's missing?
21
Instead of leaving me for some other
22
Said we're perfect for each other
23
And I know we won't go spend this life alone
24
And she said, why can't you be
25
Like an outsourced government contract?
26
I'm a fat cat getting away with anything
27
Kicking some secret special powers
28
Illumination rounds in showers
29
'Cause you're tearing your hair out
30
While we can have a bed of flowers
31
And I said, why can't you be
32
Like the chicks out on the road?
33
Some girls are happy just to see me
34
'Cause you got moxy and a broken nose
35
Take 'em away from this prose
36
Sometimes a blow job's not enough
37
Why can't you play a little less rough?
38
Why can't you be the part of me that's missing?
39
Instead of leaving me for some other
40
Say we're perfect for each other
41
And I know we won't go spend this life alone
42
Can we just leave it be?
43
We could live our lives separately
44
Could you forget what happens to you?
45
To you and me
46
When we're dead and we'll be dead
47
We'll have eternity
48
And I will spend it all, missing you
49
Missing you and me
50
So while I'm alive I will always be
51
Seeking you out, digging you out
52
Wondering about how it goes so far down
53
And what's wrong with you?
54
What's wrong with you and me?
55
And she said, why can't you be
56
Someone looking deeper into me?
57
Like JD Salinger, why do I challenge her
58
In all these selfish ways that you displease
59
Why can't you be a little more at ease?
60
Well, why can't you be
61
Like a hand rolled cigarette? I'm not joking
62
This masochistic self-pity of smoking
63
And this city ditty, I keep provoking you to leave me
64
And she said
65
Why can't you be like a candle I can snuff?
66
You're still the diamond in the rough
67
And I swear to God I've had enough
68
How can I call your bluff?
