Tell Me Why Songtext

von This Way Up

Heading out to nowhere (late at night)
Melodies inside my head (spinning round and round)
City lies behind me (fast asleep)
The sweetest dreams escape me (they were so hard to keep)

Get me feeling so alive
I just can't keep it all inside
I'm winding up to something good
But I can't stop even though I know I should

Tell me why, tell me why

I won't change my style (no, not for anyone)
Just sit down and leave it for a while (until the damage is done)

Got me feeling so alive
I just can't keep it all inside
I'm winding up to something good
But I can't stop even though I know I should

Tell me why, tell me why

I could be anything that I wanted to be
I believe if I see what I wanted to see
And I know, yes, I know you told me that night

I was shown to the path that would lead to your heart
And to veer from that road it would tear us apart
And I know, yes I know, you told me so that night

Tell me why, tell me why
