• Why Can't You Be (Live)

(- There was an argument with an ex-girlfriend and I said something about like "a truest love" and she said: "You're mistaken, my first truest love was with multiple adjustible showerhead". I know you're following me, but I'm like - I'm drunk?! I'm gonna sing this damn song right now. - Yeah, you are! - Why can't you be)

Are you frightened by the weight to possess or
Is this life just weightlessness
And smoggy twilight in LA
I can't think of one real thing to say
And Robbie Williams is walking in the canyons
Forgets that we were friends
I guess it all depends on your mood -
Why can't these meds be any damn good?

And she said:
Why can't you be
Like my waterpik shower massager -
A sweet reliable machine.
And to tell the truth, I don't feel less alone,
A water massager is the purest love I've ever known
Why can't you be
Like when I was thirteen

Why can't you be
Like an art house foreign movie
Frank and sexy, red balloons and ennui
And allude to me
And why can't you be
A little more of a mystery?

Why can't you be
The part of me that's missing
Instead of leaving me for some other
Say: we're perfect for each other
And I know we won't go spend our lives alone.

And she said:
Why can't you be
Like an outsourced government contract
I'm a fat cat gettin' away with anything
Kicking some secret special powers
Illumination rounds in showers
Cause you're tearing your hair out
While we can have a bed of flowers

And I said:
Why can't you be
Like the chicks out on the road
Some girls are happy just to see me
Because you got moxie and a broken nose
You take him away from this prose
Sometimes a blowjob's not enough
Why can't you play
A little less rough?

Why can't you be
The part of me that's missing
Instead of leaving me for some other
Say: we're perfect for each other
And I know we won't go spend this life alone

Can we... just leave it be
We could live... our lives... separately
Could you forget... what happens to you
To you and me

When we're dead... and we'll be dead
We'll have eternity
And I will spend it all... missing you,
Missing you and me
So while I'm alive... I will always be

Seeking you out,
Digging you out,
Wondering about how it goes so far down
And what's wrong with you,
What's wrong with you and me.

Why can't you be
Someone lookin' deeper into me
Like J.D. Salinger
Why do I challenge her
In all these surface ways
That you displease
Why can't you be
A little more at ease?

Why can't you be
Like a hand-rolled cigarette?
I'm not joking
This masochistic self-pity of smoking
And this city ditty
I keep provoking you to leave me

She said:
Why can't you be
Like a candle I can snuff
You're still a diamond in the rough
And I swear to God - I've had enough
How can I call your bluff?
