[Hook: Fitz and The Tantrums]
I'm asking you why, oh why can't we be together?
Cuz' I really don't understand
And you could go cry and cry on forever
I really don't understand
You and me
Met her in a daze we through a**ociations
Drunk for a week, we had a broken conversation
Left with a kiss and was off in that night
But that next night was ours girl, ha, (you and me)
Ever since then I can't kick that addiction
First few months I overlooked those afflictions
Punch drunk love, a drug so intense
Memories burn, the memories left me incensed
I ask myself, Why, Why, Why, Why can't we be happy
Look girl, I really don't understand
Can't forget the first night, cab ride home
Made love until first light
Next to you
Cuz' paradise was that bedroom
OJ and Tequila like girl I would wed you
You above all, love and health
I gave you everything and you nearly k**ed myself
[Hook: Repeat]
Months went by and addiction got worser
Lines got crossed, leighways went further
Trust digressed and the focus moved to old freaks
And all of a sudden, she was getting cold feet
I could tell but she wouldn't admit it
Caught somewhere in between love and me and her quittin'
Tried my hardest to change things that I couldn't see
Because all I ever wanted in the end was (you and me)
Plus she in school with a new band of friends
And that time in between that I knew I couldn't spend
Double standards had me going out my mind
She was texting her ex and I wasn't texting mine
Didn't end till' I walked in that night
Dudes hand on her hips, tough to avoid that fight
The ride home she slept, and I tried but I couldn't
Damn...I swear a piece of me died that night
[Hook: Repeat]
Took you out to lunch and I was starting to see more
I dried those eyes in the car by the seashore
Told me to drive while you laid in my lap
Made love all day, I laid awake and you napped
I thought for sure I had found what I needed
You needed me and in turn doubt was defeated
I was so happy, ignored questions that lingered
Instead I focused on a future and a ring on your finger
That was on me because I was still reeling
But I was too afraid, to say how I was feeling
You held the power for the words I'd never say
Because you had threatened to take everything away
Couldn't believe it and I couldn't believe you
How could you think I was out to deceive you?
Worst part is I still think about forever
And about why
Why can't we be
Together...
