Story Behind The Song

I met a beautiful woman in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. We fell hard. She came and visited me for a week. We stayed up all night the last night struggling with the idea that we lived in two separate countries and couldn't pursue what we felt was something

Song Description

Light, slightly funky song about long distance yearning.

Lyrics

Why Can?t I Fly?
Written by: Jonathan Edward Sorensen


V1: 3?oclock in the morning. I?m awake with my hands under my head,
I?m not feeling lonely
But I miss the last thing that you said, . .

I can wake in the morning, and forget the night was ever there,
I?m not one for memories
But I miss your eyes, your voice, your hair,

Pre Chorus: It?s not good bye,
Never say bye

Chorus: Why Can?t I fly, when you are there and I am here,
Why can?t I, Why can?t I, find you and touch you again.(repeat)


V2: I could let it go, Call over all my closest friends
Down a couple bottles, talk about all that could have been
Go to bed still hungry, in a place that only you can touch
Past tense is empty, when I still need you so much.

Pre Chorus: It?s not good bye,
Never say bye

Chorus: Why Can?t I fly, when you are there and I am here,
Why can?t I, Why can?t I, find you and touch you again. (repeat)

Instrumental Bridge:

V3: 3?oclock in the morning. Still awake with my hands under my head,
I?m not feeling lonely
But I miss the last thing that you said, . .

Pre Chorus: It?s not good bye,
Never say bye

Chorus: Why Can?t I fly, when you are there and I am here,
Why can?t I, Why can?t I, find you and touch you again.(repeatX2)
