[Intro]
[Verse 1]
I can see it, as you are
And I can see it, in your eyes
And I can see it, as you are
And I can see it, in your eyes
The floodgates are now open
And the lonely truth will flow out
[Chorus]
Why can t they leave things as they are?
Why can t they leave things alone?
[Verse 2]
I heard a friend drift by my window
I saw a gun blow him away
And I can see it, in your hand
And I can see it, in your eyes
[Chorus]
Why can t we leave things as they are?
Why don t they leave things alone?
Why can t we leave things as they are?
Why don t they leave things alone?
[Bridge]
Always, we see rivers and fences
Always, we see beautiful mountains
[Solo]

[Verse 3]
And I can see it, as you are
And I can see it, in their eyes
[Chorus]
Why don t they leave things as they are?
Why can t we leave things alone?
Why don t they leave things as they are?
Why can t we leave things alone?
