"Why Can't We Live Together?"

by Joseph McCombs


You send the dark thoughts under
You make my flowers grow
But every night I wonder
As I take the owl bus home

     Why can't we live together?
     Why can't we live together?

I swear, what's mine is yours
I'm holding nothing back
If you'd open up your doors
You'd see what we both lack

     Why can't we live together?
     Why can't we live together?

               We've been wasting time
               Going nowhere
               Going blind

               We've been looking elsewhere
               When we should
               Look inside

               To each other...

I know with you I'm blessed
You feel the same way too
If we were in bed undressed
Think how much more we'd do

     Why can't we live together?
     Why can't we live together?
