Why can't you be there
So you can help her?
The bees are out again
One year in every ten
Why can't you be there
So you can hold her?
Way back in Boston town (way back in Wellesley)
Where she is hurting so
(Why can't you be there?)
Why can't you be there?
Why don't you go there
So you can soothe her?
The bees are stinging her
But you don't go home (I want to know her ?)
Why can't you be there (Why can't you be there?)
So you can save her?
The bees are killing her
Way back in Boston town
(Why can't you be there?)
Why can't you be there?
Why can't you be there
So you can help her?
The bees are out again
One year in every ten
Why can't you be there (Why can't you be there?)
So you can hold her?
Way back in Boston town (Why can't you be there?)
Why can't you be there?

You tell me everything
At night my ears still ring
I hear you when I sleep
You drive yourself in deep
Why can't you shut your mouth?
Pack up and fly down south
I want to be alone
And you're always in my home
Why can't you go your way
Pack up and leave today
I want to do my thing
But you always go to sing
All of your inner pain
Is driving me insane
I want to block it out
'Cause I can't help you out 
Why can't you shut your mouth?
Pack up and fly down south
I want to be alone
And you're always in my home
Why can't you take a rest?
Leave something on your chest
There will be another day
And you're gonna have your say
Everyone comes and everyone goes
Everyone comes and everyone goes
Why do you think we already know?
Why do you think we already know?
Everyone comes and everyone goes
Everyone comes and everyone goes
Why can't you shut your mouth?
Pack up and fly down south
I want to be alone
And you're always in my home
Why can't you shut your mouth?
Why can't you shut your mouth?
Why can't you shut your mouth?
I want to be alone

There ain't any words to save this
So I'll come flat out and say it
You can't write me off as a misanthrope
The bodies lie too high to see over, so I say
Why do we hurt each other?
Why do we hurt each other?
You hurt me
I want you to know it's not just us right now
It's everybody everywhere, forever and ever
I don't know what kind of drugs he or she was doing
And they put me on the plane, and they said "Hey, man, you can't fly this thing"
Why do we hurt each other?
Why do we hurt each other?
You hurt me, I hurt you
It feels so bad
It feels so good
Little children walking hand-in-hand
Making little angels in the sand
You hurt me
Why do we hurt each other?
Why do we hurt each other?

==Lyrics==
I try so hard to please you
I break my back
You never give me credit
And so I crack
Why oh why can't you love me?
Why oh why does it hurt me inside?
Why oh why am I crying?
Why oh why do these tears never dry?
A simple word of notice
Would mean so much
I'm just a helpless cripple
And you're my crutch
Why oh why can't you love me?
Why oh why does it hurt me inside?
Why oh why am I crying?
Why oh why do the tears never dry?
Since I was a child
I was running 'round wild
Always looking for someone
Somebody to love me
And hold me together
When I'm coming undone
You came 'round, you sat down
You said, "How do you do?"
I said "I wouldn't mind
If I could be with you"
I need someone to hold me now
A simple word of notice
Would mean so much
I'm just a helpless cripple
And you're my crutch
Why oh why can't you love me?
Why oh why does it hurt me inside?
Why oh why am I crying?
Why oh why do these tears never dry?
Why? (Can't you love me?)

Switching into airplane mode again
We're not alright but I'll pretend
Press my cheek against the glass
Just be good till I get back
The ground disappears
I hold back the tears
I check my phone to see your face
Staring back as if to say
Don't worry, you won't be lonely
Why won't you love me?
Why won't you love me?
You imagine when you close your eyes
You're with me on the other side
So why won't you love me?
Few drinks deep at a table for one
The place we like to go and you take yourself home again
Three missed calls at 2 AM
You say you never heard, you're late to get to work and then
The time disappears
You hold back the tears
Your best girlfriend just got engaged
You say you can't wait and need to make a change
You told me it's so hard to be lonely
Why won't you love me?
Why won't you love me?
We're together all alone tonight
So helpless from the other side
So why won't you love me?
Can you tell me why, my love? Can you tell me why?
I hold on to you and you hold on to me
Can you tell me why, my love? Can you tell me why?
I hold on to you and you hold on
Why won't you love me?
Why won't you love me?
Why won't you love me?
You imagine when you close your eyes
You're with me on the other side
So why won't you love me?

I am your maniac
I pick your tarantula up
I say what you wanted to hear
But I guess I don't try hard enough 
I should surrender now
My body is broken and weak
But when I sit next to you
I vibrate like a washing machine
Why won't you love me?
Why won't you love me?
Imagine I'm your faithful wife
I need attention in my life
So why won't you love me?
We used to take off our clothes and lay
In the fountains on warm summer nights
That's when I learned that I can't be brave
Until I am terrified
Now I feel uncomfortable
When you stare at my face
I wish I had my pacifier
To make the ache go away
Why won't you love me?
Why won't you love me?
Imagine I'm your faithful wife
I need attention in my life
So why won't you love me?</tabber>

Wakin' up at the dawn of a new day
On the open road
And not a care on my mind, I got no time
For any misanthrope
Changing up this lullaby
Into my own battle cry
Wild at heart
You've got me wild at heart
Wild at heart
You've got me wild at heart
Like we used to be
And like we're meant to be
Lollygag in the lee of a highland
'Til my ghost takes flight
In the sky I'm as high as a titan
Feeding on the fire
Shattering those iron bars
Through the sky like shooting stars
Wild at heart
You've got me wild at heart
Wild at heart
You've got me wild at heart
Like we used to be
And like we're meant to be
Changing up this lullaby
Into my own battle cry

You've got me wild at heart

You've got me wild at heart

And like we're meant to be

Five o'clock, got a hot cup of coffee
A quiet place to work
Fountain pens and a graph paper notebook
How I love to learn
I don't need the Viper Room
'Cause this is what I like to do
Wild at heart
You've got me wild at heart
Wild at heart
You've got me wild at heart
Like they used to be
In the 1970s
Chillin' out on a day off in Texas
Sitting 'round the fire
I take a walk with my girl by the river
This is all I require
You can take your hamster wheel
'Cause I finally figured out the deal
Wild at heart
You've got me wild at heart
Wild at heart
You've got me wild at heart
Like they used to be
In the 1970s
You can take your hamster wheel
'Cause I finally figured out the deal
Now I know, this time, that it's for real
'Cause I love the way you make me feel
Wild at heart
You've got me wild at heart
Wild at heart
You've got me wild at heart
Like they used to be

Will I Ever See Her Again?

"Will I Ever See Her Again?" is a song by The Relationship written by Brian Bell. It is the ninth track on the band's self-titled debut album released in 2010.
==Overview==
==Lyrics==
See the sun rise again
The same old one - nothing's changed
Is there end to the madness my friend?
Do all good things come to an end?
Will I ever see her again?
And our son had his mother's eyes
The thought of it makes me break down and die
Is there an end to the sadness within?
On my tears I've been chocking
Will I ever see her again?
And although we didn't see eye to eye
And over the little things we would fight
and I was untrue and your time I did waste
but if you'd take me back swear I'll change
into a man worthy of your love
but I should of thought of that in the first place
If I could turn back the time
to a day when the sun did shine
One day plan to make amends
Wouldn't that be a happy end
Will I ever see her again?
Will I ever see her again?
Will I ever see her again?

Albatross around their necks

Ship stranded in the tropics

And trust the man with the Torah
We got the wind in our sail
Like Darwin on the Beagle
And Mendel experimenting with a pea
We got the wind in our sail
And we can do so many great things together, together
Breathe in the salt
Slicing waves at forty knots
Cumulonimbus in the sky
This is what we waited for
And now there's no more hyperventilating in wheelchairs
We're gonna save the last auk on Funk Island
We had to do it wrong
Before we could do it right
We got the wind in our sail
Like Darwin on the Beagle
And Mendel experimenting with a pea
We got the wind in our sail
And we can do so many great things together, together
Pushing the stone up the hill
And if it rolls back down
Whoa Sisyphus, it rolls back down
Pushing the stone up the hill
And if it rolls back down
Whoa Sisyphus, it rolls back down
We got the wind in our sail
Like Darwin on the Beagle
And Mendel experimenting with a pea
We got the wind in our sail
And we can do so many great things together, together
