I Want to Know the Reason Why

You said you were walkin

.

’

I think you’re just talkin

.

’

You say we should say goodbye.

I want to know the reason why.

You’re a glacier and I’m the breeze.

You won’t melt but I can freeze.

I shouldn’t have to beg to please—

And you want to know the reason why.

You said you were walkin.’

I think you’re just talkin.’

You say we should say goodbye.

I want to know the reason why.

Our impediments are too pristine—

We’re not lucky or still thirteen.

Everything’s everywhere in between,

And you ought to know the reason why.

Maybe I’ll be walkin,’

And I’m not just talkin’.

Maybe I should say goodbye—

And you’re gonna know the reason why.

Catching lightning’s never easy.

I’m always being struck to seize

Your daily brood of obscurities.

And I want to know the reason why.

Ah, maybe we’re just talking,

Up too late and arguing.

I know I’ll never say goodbye—

And you know the reason why.
