Why? - The Letters, Etc. Lyrics

Classic air is a vacuum where you are not
And I'm a can of Coke flattened by a thousand cars
How strange to be strangers after what we was
In a soft separate life with heart we held the center part of us

We met at your show, July 4th at the park in the afternoon
We got together that next Winter the magnolia bloomed
We made a home, we had a life, Florida, Spain, and Cancun
.
Then I had doubts, we rotted out, I acted like a fool

Then I was back on my own
Yeah, I'm being alone
Guess it's my own damn fault (I know, I know, I know)
I can not call

(Maria) the letters were a last ditch effort, rattle of death
(Maria) you go east and I'll go west, between us, breath
(Maria, oh)

Now that I've simmered in the truth
I'm feeling stupid as hell
Took you to Ada Lea to say my love for you is real, still
(My love for you is real)
But you had me looking silly
It only clicked right now
It was just three days from when you met Philly in Nashville

(So now I'm back on my own)
(Yeah, I'm being alone) my heart is open, I leak it
Your art is 'Everything's a Secret'

(Maria) go see about the one you've found, I'll be around
(Maria) Mars and me from here on out, make us proud
(Maria)

When you see me
You know what we shared
Do you still care?
If you need me
I will be there
I will be there

(Maria) maybe I'm at bottom but I'll climb the totem, yeah
(Maria) now I see you were right, though, your shift wasn't psycho
(Maria) you met a nice beau at his hype show, that's just life bro
(Maria)
