Why Can’t I Explain?
T. Thibaud, Hill West Music, 2003


Well I’ve got a problem and it’s not a new one
It’s been around for quite sometime
It takes me places I can’t even mention
It leaves its traces all over my life

But I know why nothing lasts forever
And I know why some things never change
I get the reasons that we should be together
But why can’t I explain?

There’s been a few times I might not remember
But I said the wrong thing and paid the price
Well I’ve been reminded a thousand times over
Man It’s just not worth it so now I play nice

But I know why nothing lasts forever
And I know why some things never change
I get the reasons we should be together
But why can’t I explain? Oh, why can’t I explain?

The holes in my bedroom walls got me thinking ‘bout the things I did
I can’t seem to shake my past it keeps coming up behind me
and hitting me in the head

Well I’ve got a suitcase and no place to get to
With no way to get there but that’s all right
Well I think direction has been overrated
I might just wander till I see the light

Yeah I know why nothing lasts forever
And I know why some things never change
I get the reasons we should be together
But why can’t I explain? Oh, why can’t I explain?
Can’t explain.
