why can’t you & i? lyrics
[verse 1]
hope dies, withered on the vine
old before its time
water into brine
and dreams die, waiting to be fed
long before they’re wed to life

[pre+chorus 1]
so here we are, two ships without a sail
no rudder for the gale winds, or the tailspins

[chorus 1]
i miss you even when you’re near
you’re leaving, pouring out like tears
if dreams die before wе give them life
why should lovе survive?

[verse 2]
hope tries, first you’re holding hands
then dreams become demands
and passion turns to plans
and love tries, blinded by its youth
to turn its anger into truth

[pre+chorus 2]
so here we are, twos hips upon the land
no anchor for the sand dunes, when the earth moves
[chorus 2]
i miss you even when you’re near
you’re leaving, pouring out like tears
if hope tries to fight the test of time
why can’t you and i?

[verse 3]
feed me, pluck me from the vine
stop the hands of time
turn water into wine
and see me, treasure every seed
pleasure in the need + be mine

[pre+chorus 3]
here you are, my comet in the sky
afraid to spin too high, and burning as you fly

[chorus 3]
i miss you even when you’re near
you’re leaving, pouring out like tears
if dreams die, then why should you and i?
we were born to fly

[outro]
we were born to fly
