Because I Can

I wonder why it always feels like rain
My life is like some cheap champagne
The answers don't always seem to fit
My glass is full, but it tastes like shit

I need a quick decision
and a cheap reward
I'm in my last revision
hey- hey-hey-hey

So I'll cry just a little bit longer
and I'll stay two seconds more
and I'll try to be stronger
and I'll see if you catch my fall

I can't say if what I did was right
but you let me go like your sister's kite
I can't say if what I did was wronge
still you followed me like a sing-along

I need a quick decision
and a cheap reward
I'm in my last revision
hey-hey-hey-hey

So I'll cry just a little bit longer
and I'll stay two seconds more
and I'll try to be stronger
and I'll see if you catch my fall

Yea yea yeaaaaa
yea yea yeaaaaa
yea yea yeaaaaaaaaaaaa

I've made my last decision
and got some cheap reward
I need no man's permission

(instrumental)

So I'll cry just a little bit longer
and I'll stay two seconds more
and I'll try to be stronger
and I'll see if you catch my fall
if you catch my fall
catch my fall
ya catch my fall
fall

You hold me like a puppet in your clammy hands
Breathing your soft innuendoes
I can feel the music through your eyes
So much pain it hurts my soul

Take me where oleander grow
Show me all the things that I don't know

I'm outside
Let me in
I'm still shedding my original skin
Show me where I've never been
I'm still shedding my original skin

I am not afraid all I have to fear is myself
me or I
My curls have twisted themselves into knots

Twist and turn me inside out
Show me what bliss is about

I'm outside
let me in
I'm still shedding my original skin
Show me where I've never been
I'm still shedding my original skin

If I wait to run away
I'll be trapped another day

I'm still shedding my original skin
Show me where I've never been
I'm still shedding my original skin

lalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalala
lalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalala
lalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalallalalalalalalalalalala
lalalalalalalaaaa...

Out of bed at the crack of noon
Blare the music and have a swoon
I can't stop thinking of your face
La la lee la lee loo lace
I'm six feet under the Bhodi tree
With my crap new-age philosophy
Diamonds where there once were stars
I'm sitting in Jayne Mansfield's car

Yeah yeah I'm independence
Yeah yeah I'm borderline
Yeah yeah I'm California
My minds all screwed and upside down
But my hearts on overdrive
Yeah my hearts on overdrive

I need to take a shower when I look at you
You sting and hurt like a bad tattoo
I wish you'd change my point of view
I cruise the canyon to get some breeze
With hidden treasures up my sleeve
I like the light and hate the heat
But I'll lick the blood right off your street

Yeah yeah I'm cherry cola
Yeah yeah I'm Candy-eyed
Yeah yeah I'm California
My minds all screwed and upside down
But my hearts on overdrive

They all come here to find a scene
But end up girls on Methedrine
Naked on a TV screen
The dreams that fall beneath my feet
Make my footsteps feel so sweet
But your kisses are my fate accomplice

Yeah yeah I'm independance
Yeah yeah I'm borderline
Yeah yeah I'm California
My minds all screwed and upside down
But my hearts on overdrive
Yeah my hearts on overdrive

I only wish for snow to fall
On the palm trees in the dirt
But here the sun will always shine (It'll always shine)
Even if with the clouds it flirts

For Shangri-LA is always dry
It doesn't cry like me
In Hell-LA the sun is always there ( it's always there)
Scalding the deep green sea

I'll never be a snowflake
and waltz to earth so gently
To form a perfect blanket
For someone else to walk on

I've lost my mind in wanderlust
my heart cannot be found
My body yearns for the warmth of snow
but the sun keep pouring down
These streets have signs that point somewhere
but there I don't belong
And there's no more use
To curl your hair
When your innocence is gone

I only wish for snow to fall
On the palm trees in the dirt
But here the sun will always shine ( always shine)
Even if with clouds it flirts

Chorus x2

I throw myself into the rain
as we run down these old train
tracks again
The moon is naked in the sky
so maybe you and I could fly
or pretend

As the stars fall from grace
and light your glowing face

I'm teachin' myself to dream
I'm holding' my breath to scream
I;m teachin' myself to believe in the things
>I dont understand, I dont even know if they're true;
That's what dreamers do

Can't say what day it is or year
but thou shalt have no fear
for I know your name
You can't believe what I did
and maybe I'm just a kid
but then we're both the same

I watch the hours through the glass
and now the time will finally pass

I'm teachin' myself to dream
I'm learnin' what love can be
I'm teachin' myself to
believe in the things I don't understand
I don't even know if they're true
That's what dreamers do

Stapled eyes can't open until waking
and all your lies will be your undertaking

I let my mind dance and flow
we'll magic and I'll know
as the lilacs slowly grow
all my dreams are true

( repeat chorus)

I wish there was a photograph
That showed me here with you
And I could kiss the photograph
And make my wish come true

I wish I was a humming dove so
I could sing so sweet
I wish that I could steal the moon
And kiss it with my feet

I wish I was a remedy
That you wanted to take
A product of a recipe that
No one had to bake

I wish I could forget that day
The hurting in my heart
And wash our mouths with listerine
To make a brand new start

Watching the rain fall down
Watching the rain, watching the rain
Watching the rain fall down
Watching the rain, watching the rain fall down

I wish there was a fairy tale
That turned into my life
So I could kiss prince charming and
Be his princess-wife

I wish the voices in my head
Would leave my ears alone
So my eyes would stop their
Water-bleeding and I could find a home

I wish there was a ruby rose
Where I spread my wings and flew
So I could inhale the perfume and
Be the morning dew

I wish the raindrops on the grass
Would let me join their dance
I'd spin, and twirl, and laugh with them
And drain my thoughts, per chance

Watching the rain fall down
Watching the rain, watching the rain
Watching the rain fall down
Watching the rain, watching the rain fall

Whoa, I kinda like it
Whoa
Whoa, I kinda like it this way

Watching the rain
Watching the rain

Watching the rain fall down
Watching the rain, watching the rain
Watching the rain fall down
Watching the rain, watching the rain

Watching the rain
Watching the rain
