Why Don't You

from Book of Colors by Book of Colors

lyrics

1. Tame, leaving everything around the same
to look exactly like you never came here before.
Blame, shifting light behind a windowpane, after all we’d done
it’s such a shame to see:

B. Us walking over
in single file
an edge that’s sober
but never silent.
Why don’t you know what to do?
You’ve been there before.

C. Why don’t you do all you know?
Why don’t you do anything at all?

2. Try, try your best so I can be surprised
after all you pull you’re still alive and walking around.
Or die, it’s the only thing you can rely
on if nothing happens ‘til you’re gone. Alright.

B. Been walking over
in single file
an edge that’s sober
but never silent.
Why don’t you know what to do?
You’ve been there before.

C. Why don’t you do all you know?
Why don’t you do anything at all?
