Why don't you ever want to talk to me.
I stare at the sky always wondering why
you only call when I call,
and you don't stop by.

So, let me be the set of strings,
that answer you when you sing.
They say, "Why can't I fall in love,
I can't hear my heartbeat over the drums."

Why can't I be something you can use:
a tank of gasoline when your car's already full.
Why can't I be that headline in the news,
[ From: http://www.elyrics.net ]
that says

Let me be the battery,
You put into your tape machine
so you can hear me sing
but now I'm running out of energy.

Why can't I be something you can use:
a tank of gasoline when your car's already full.
Why can't I be that headline in the news,
that says things are working out for the people you love,
things are working out for the people you tried to.
