Can’t Tell You Why

Luis Cabezas, Kelly Ogden

[Verse 1]
She stays up in the moonlight painting boxes where she stores her thoughts
A sinking feeling always hovering l like a tiny cloud
A disappointment, never good enough
Couldn't pass her driving test cause she slept through her alarm clock

[Chorus]
Gotta cross your fingers twice
Skip across the sidewalk cracks
Lucky penny inside your pocket
Just looking so sad in photos
Like something inside is broken
But I can't tell you why
Gonna slap on a plastic smile
Have another sad tomorrow
And I can't tell you why
Cause I don't know

[Verse 2]
He runs and runs for miles
Cause he's running running from himself
So picture perfect, he's a busy busy bee
One flower to the next
A disappointment, never be enough
Broken foot, got the worst luck
Now he's got nowhere to run

[Chorus]
Gotta cross your fingers twice
Skip across the sidewalk cracks
Lucky penny inside your pocket
Just looking so sad in photos
Like something inside is broken
But I can't tell you why
Gonna slap on a plastic smile
Have another sad tomorrow
And I can't tell you why
Cause I don't know
Cause I don't know

[Bridge]
Somewhere under that rainbow
Somewhere over the stars
Call me, call me whenever
Day or night

[Chorus]
Just looking so sad in photos
Like something inside is broken
But I can't tell you why
Gonna slap on a plastic smile
Have another sad tomorrow
And I can't tell you why
Cause I don't know
Yeah, I know I'm looking tired
Gonna send that call to voicemail
And I can't tell you why
I'll hold out hope cause why not
Four leaf clover in my pocket
Gonna be alright
But I don't know
Oh I don't know
But I don't know
Gonna be alright
But I don't know
Oh I don't know
But I don't know
Gonna be alright
Gonna be alright
