Why Can’t You & I?

Janis Ian

[Verse 1]
Hope dies, withered on the vine
Old before its time
Water into brine
And dreams die, waiting to be fed
Long before they're wed to life

[Pre-Chorus 1]
So here we are, two ships without a sail
No rudder for the gale winds, or the tailspins

[Chorus 1]
I miss you even when you're near
You're leaving, pouring out like tears
If dreams die before wе give them life
Why should lovе survive?

[Verse 2]
Hope tries, first you're holding hands
Then dreams become demands
And passion turns to plans
And love tries, blinded by its youth
To turn its anger into truth

[Pre-Chorus 2]
So here we are, twos hips upon the land
No anchor for the sand dunes, when the earth moves

[Chorus 2]
I miss you even when you're near
You're leaving, pouring out like tears
If hope tries to fight the test of time
Why can't you and I?

[Verse 3]
Feed me, pluck me from the vine
Stop the hands of time
Turn water into wine
And see me, treasure every seed
Pleasure in the need - Be mine

[Pre-Chorus 3]
Here you are, my comet in the sky
Afraid to spin too high, and burning as you fly

[Chorus 3]
I miss you even when you're near
You're leaving, pouring out like tears
If dreams die, then why should you and i?
We were born to fly

[Outro]
We were born to fly
