Can't See Why Lyrics - Truth Be Told - Blues Traveler

Kiss away the morning hour 

In need of some restraint 

While raised to think knowledge is power 

I've come to learn it ain't 

Because here I go when the hat drops 

In the lion's mouth for more 

And this time there's no illusion 

For what I've got in store 

And it comes and it goes 

And eventually slows 

And we lie and we trade 

And I guess destiny is made 

And I can't see why but I do it anyway 

You reap what you sow, oh so the poets say 

Well she knew my name and she came to me 

And she wanted to spend some time 

And she looked soft to touch so it's the same you see 

I just wanted to make her mine 

So here we are just standing there 

Trying to figure out why we're there 

Attempting some connection 

While we're brave enough to care 

And we try and we fail 

And oh the sirens how they wail 

And it's bad and it's good 

Does it matter if we should? 

And I can't see why but I do it anyway 

You reap what you sow, oh so the poets say 

And you can't see me and I do that carefully 

And this time we have is enough to make you laugh 

And I can't see why but I do it anyway 

You reap what you sow, oh so the poets say
