Why
Written by Charlie Simpson and Will Simpson

Look at me up in the sky
I watch the world just pass me by
And all my feelings give me away
It's happening more every day

Loving you could be so easy
Loving you could be so great
Loving you could be so easy
Loving you could be so great

But how can I try to explain?
Your story never seems to stay the same
You're out of touch and I'm out of time
Just talk to me a while
And joke about the things we used to see
It's so hard for me to smile

I've never felt so alone
After all of this, there's so much left to lose
And I've taken pieces home
I promise you I never meant to

Well how can I complain
When everybody seems to know my name
You're out of touch and I'm out of time
It's such a selfish compromise
A self indulgent, useless bunch of lies
I never thought you would believe

Hold me now, don't wake me up
Pull me down and then back up
All again for all to see

Low down whisper and guilty stare
Your stagnant beauty makes me glare
Silly games in the sun
In the sun
In the sun
Oh, in the sun

But how can I complain?
Your story never seems to stay the same
Now I'm out of luck and you're out of line
It's such a selfish compromise
A self indulgent, useless bunch of lies
I never thought you would believe
Go!

Loving you could be so easy
Loving you could be so great
Loving you could be so easy
Loving you could be so great

Maybe a change could keep me high
Stop me thinking and wondering why
