Wondering Why - Levi & Walmoods

She comes from silver spoon, golden rule, private school Never missed Sunday church And I come from blue collar, low dollar Out here where concrete meets old red dirt And I don't know what happened But it sure don't add up on paper But when I close my eyes late at night You can bet I thank my maker She keeps on loving me Loves me the way I am She's not just along for the ride She's my biggest fan Lord, it's a little old piece of heaven When we lay down at night She keeps on loving me And I keep on wondering why She's got a wicked smile, angel eyes Every guy wanting to hold her close She's as pretty as sin Like the sun sinking down on the California coast She keeps on loving me Loves me the way I am She's not just along for the ride She's my biggest fan Lord, it's a little old piece of heaven When we lay down at night She keeps on loving me And I keep on wondering why Alright, alright, alright I don't know what happened But it sure don't add up on paper And as long as she lets me I'll take her wherever she wants me to take her, oh She keeps on loving me Loves me the way I am She's not just along for the ride She's my biggest fan And it's a little old piece of heaven When we lay down at night She keeps on loving me And I keep on wondering why She keeps on loving me And I keep on wondering why

Sensations drift away When I'm all alone How can you take away my feelings Bet our love until you lose Then give back what you've been stealing All these changes I go through Keeps me wondering why I'm still loving you Keeps me wondering why All these things that you do Keeps me wondering why Temptation rips away Can this girl stay true I just keep hanging on Cause I know it's hard to find the magic That's in every part of you All the boys, they got to have it All these changes I go through Keeps me wondering why I'm still loving you Keeps me wondering why All these things that you do Keeps me wondering why I'm still loving you Keeps me wondering Keeps me wondering Keeps me wondering... Keeps me wondering why I'm still loving you Keeps me wondering why All these things that you do Keeps me wondering why I'm still in love with you Keeps me wondering why All these things that you do Keeps me wondering why You know, I'm still in love with you Keeps me wondering why All these things that you do Keeps me wondering why I'm still in love with you

You're probably wondering why I'm here And so am I So am I Just as much as you wonder 'Bout me bein' in this place (yeah) That's just how much I marvel At the lameness on your face You rise each day the same old way And join your friends out on the street Spray your hair and think you're neat I think your life is incomplete But maybe that's not for me to say They only pay me here to play (I wanna hear Caravan with a drum sola!) You're probably wondering why I'm here And so am I So am I Just as much as you wonder 'Bout me starin' back at you (yeah) That's just how much I question The corny things you do You paint your face and then you chase To meet the gang where the action is Stomp all night and drink your fizz Roll your car and say, "Gee whiz!" You tore a big hole in your convertible top What will you tell your mom and pop? (Mom, I tore a big hole in the convertible) You're probably wondering why I'm here And so am I So am I Just as much as you wonder If I mean just what I say (yeah) That's just how much I question The social games you play You told your mom you're stoked on Tom And went for a cruise in Freddie's car Tommy's asking where you are You boogied all night in a cheesy bar Plastic boots and plastic hat And you think you know where it's at? Yeah You're probably wondering why I'm here (Not that it makes a heck of a lot of a difference to ya!)

You swing by late with money for groceries Forgot writing the check another week I guess I thought that you remembered It's always four days till September And I pretend to sleep, but I didn't even brush my teeth And by the time I opened my eyes, your truck was gone So, I cried myself to sleep, just nine years young How could you not love what is yours? How could you leave two perfect boys? How could you not be enough, but still make me want your love? How could you call yourself a man? How could you not know who I am? How could you not be enough, but still makе me want your love? You both stand at the door, look at your boy Hе's grown into his ears, better to hear You kneel down next to the sofa You brush my hair and look me over And then you kiss my head, smell cigarettes fresh on your breath And by the time I got the nerve to tell you off Well, the tar and nicotine finally did their job How could you not love what is yours? How could you leave two perfect boys? How could you not be enough, but still make me want your love? How could you call yourself a man? How could you not know who I am? How could you not be enough, but still makе me want your love? Pa-rap-pap-pa-ra Pa-rap-pap-pa-ra Pa-rap-pap-pa-ra Pa-rap-pap-pa-ra Pa-rap-pap-pa-ra Pa-rap-pap-pa-ra Pa-rap-pap-pa-ra Pa-rap-pap-pa-ra Still chasing that light that you left behind Still fighting that fire, waiting for a sign Still chasing that light that you left behind Still wondering why you left me behind

On an ocean of lies, nearly drowning in fate Devoured by waves of disappointment My make-believe raft, built of pieces of shame My dignity long set for land Loosing ground... Wind, lash thy tongue! Whip this broken back. Fierce and strong! Capsize this vessel for all that I lack! Capsize this vessel for all that I lack! Save my soul... Death, take me home, I beg of you For these waters are cold. My limbs are cramped, my pupils enlarged and my heartbeat is slow. Raise the waters above my head Blind these eyes with waves of turmoil Break these bones with shipwrecked debris Fill my lungs with the salt of regret Please, please forgive me... Shame. Shame, Shame, Shame... In an ocean of lies, nearly drowning in fate My make-believe raft, smashed to pieces Death, take me home through the waters of fate Pardon me from the stains on my soul

The extent to which I loathe myself Is equal to the amount of shame that I bear As the result of my mere existence as a human And the common mediocrity of man I am worthless A mere slab of feeble meat I am naught Shivering in disgrace Sleep... Sweet sleep! Keep these weary eyes from the light of day! Cover me in a starless black And hold me Hold me... Is my existence as futile as it seems? Is feeding the larvae my only contribution? Is the burden of achievement that weighs heavy on me just? Or is it all in vein? Am I here for my loved ones Or for the entertainment of a god? Is my existence as futile as it seems? Is feeding the larvae my only contribution? Is the burden of achievement that weighs heavy on me just? Or is it all in vein? I am worthless A mere slab of feeble meat I am nill Shivering in disgrace I am worthless A mere slab of feeble meat I am naught Shivering in disgrace Death... Sweet Death! Hold this living corpse in your warm embrace! Gnaw my flesh with your grinning teeth! Devour me Devour me

Like a legion of maggots Or an army of ants In liquid motion Crawling under my skin From the earth I stand on To hell in my head Incinerating All devouring Hate, Despise Repulsion and disdain Violent, Demise I'll gladly be your pain From the earth I stand on To the hell in my head Incinerating All devouring Hate, Despise Repulsion and disdain Violent, Demise I'll gladly be your pain Hate, Despise Repulsion and disdain Violent, Demise I'll gladly be your pain

Trembling, brittle fingers Parchment skin and nails of stone Only love, no harm intended Caressing gently, threads still torn Fabric, fragile, black, translucent Eyes that ever seem to sleep Veil that hides his wound from sorrow Stained with salt her mourning weeps Silent, without motion Skin of wax, like touching stone Dancing hair locks, sighing wind Hope is life, now all is gone Memories of warmth and comfort Laughter faint and far away Break of dawn, an empty table Silence mocks the one who stayed Whispers, wishes, silent prayer "You were so, so dear to me" Whispers, wishes, silent prayer "Please come back to me" Memories of warmth and comfort Laughter faint and far away Break of dawn, an empty table Silence mocks the one who stayed Silence mocks the one who stayed Hand that remembers Skin and water, shelter stone Movement, many moons on end Once were two, now is alone Tiny limbs and reaching hands Little lips that craved her breast Handsome man that made her proud She now has to lay to rest Whispers, wishes, silent prayer "You were so, so dear to me" Whispers, wishes, silent prayer "Please come back to me"
