All the people that I know are locked inside themselves
I can't help them all for I am just myself
So many of my friends are down and out these days
Caged in and captured by the limits that they made
And I wonder

Why's the sun follow me around
When you get chased down by darkened clouds
Why are colors so damn bright
When all you see is black and white
Why is everything easy for me
When you get stressed out by the simplest things
Why does sleep come so naturally
When you lay down at night and you just can't dream

Why can't I
Why can't I
Help you dream
Why can't I
Why can't I

When everything around you is crumbling down
I'll find the silver line in this old broken town
When everything's a bummer and you hate the life you live
I'll take a deep breath and feel the warmth upon my skin
And wonder

Why's the sun follow me around
When you get chased down by darkened clouds
Why are colors so damn bright
When all you see is black and white
Why is everything easy for me
When you get stressed out by the simplest things
Why does sleep come so naturally
When you lay down at night and you just can't dream

Why can't I
Why can't I
Help you dream
Why can't I
Why can't I

Sometimes you pick yourself up dust yourself off
Only to be taken down again
I'll be close by to be helpful if you ever need a helping hand
I don't know what it is like to be living in your shoes
When I see a rain cloud in the distance all I can do is think of

Why's the sun follow me around
When you get chased own by darkened clouds
Why are colors so damn bright
When all you see is black and white
Why is everything easy for me
When you get stressed out by the simplest things
Why does sleep come so naturally
When you lay down at night and you just can't dream
