Andrew Bird’s Bowl of Fire, Andrew Bird - Why? lyrics

Why? Why'd you do that?
You shouldn't have done that
If I told you once, I told you three times
That you'll get your punishment when you
Show me your crimes
It's not a spell or a curse you put on me
Or the way you make me smile so tenderly
But how I wish it was
Your temper you were throwing
Damn you for being so easygoing

I thought that time would tell
My sins would provoke you to raise
Raise some hell no
Not a chance
Whatever happened to fiery romance?
Oh how I wish it was
Your dishes you were throwing
Damn you for being so easygoing

Why? Why'd you do that? Why'd I do what now?
Nothing forget it
Why'd you do it? Nothing

I thought that time would tell
My sins would provoke you to raise
Raise some hell no, don't give me that line
Don't try to tell me inaction is not a crime
Can't you see what kind
Of seeds you're sowing?
Damn you for being so easygoing
