[Verse 1] But why? Why, why, why! Why is the sky blue? Why does it do that? I’m staring up at noon With a brain full of sparks Tell me, tell me now Why does it pull me apart? [Pre-Chorus] Why shouldn’t I touch it? Why can’t I eat them all? Every question hits hard Like a knock on the wall [Chorus] Why, why, why! Tell me why, why, why! I keep asking again (why, why, why) Why, why, why! Tell me why, why, why! You smile and I still Need another reply [Verse 2] Why do the crumbs stay? Why does the spoon feel cold? Why do the small things Get to me so bold? I got a thousand reasons And none of them stay They slip through my fingers Then they run away [Pre-Chorus] Why shouldn’t I touch it? Why can’t I eat them all? Every answer is tiny When the wonder is tall [Chorus] Why, why, why! Tell me why, why, why! I keep asking again (why, why, why) Why, why, why! Tell me why, why, why! You smile and I still Need another reply [Bridge] Maybe the world is a door I keep rattling loud Maybe the truth is simple But it hides in the crowd So I lean in closer Till the question sings And the whole room answers With the same three things [Final Chorus] Why, why, why! Tell me why, why, why! I keep asking again (why, why, why) Why, why, why! Tell me why, why, why! I’m alive in the asking And I’m not ashamed to know why
