That is Why Lyrics by The Teeth (Philadelphia)

Send My Regards to the Sunshine

2002

[Verse 1]
Well I never wanted to be anything that you wanted me to be
You never wanted to be anything that was in any
Way like me
That is why
They took me to the hospital
The reasons were implausible
Cause what you broke they could not fix
And what you cut they could not stitch
The gash you left they could not seal
The things you took they could not steal
[Chorus]
The water is shallow
The tree trunk is hollow
[Verse 2]
I never wanted to be anything that you wanted me to bе
And you never wanted to bе anything that was in any
Way like me
That is why
I look past your common house
And you required an open mouth
Why did you say that to me
You knew that I could never be
Why did you say that to me
You knew that I could never be
[Bridge]
So smile at me and close your eyes so I don’t false [?]
Smile at me and close your eyes so I don’t false [?]
Smile at me and close your eyes so I don’t false [?]
Lie to me, and close your eyes
Smile at me and close your eyes so I don’t false [?]
[?]
It was just a way to pass the time
Just because our friendships break
Doesn’t mean my hands won’t shake shake
[Chorus]
The water is shallow
The tree trunk is hollow
[Verse 3]
That is why
Anything is plausible
And I’m not gonna stop you
And you don’t want me
Don’t give me that [?]
There’s other ways to say it
Don’t hit with that old stick
My body cannot handle it
Don’t sneak in that cheap shot
Because I am what you are not
Don’t lay me down and look away
After we acted out this way
