I don't know why I cannot reach you
I've tried and tried and still
Every time it kills me
I don't know why I cannot reach you
You've written on the back of your motorcycle jacket
Do unto others as the highway does to you
Tell me what that means
Are you talking about freedom
Are you talking about kindness
Or just trying to make me lonely
To make me lonely
I don't know why I still don't know you
After all this time together
I thought I'd know you better
I don't know why I still don't know you
But you write me letters, but they don't help at all
I do wish you'd tell me why you do what you do
But you just tell me what you see
Are you trying to find a home somewhere
Trying to say that you don't care
Or just trying to make me lonely
To make me lonely
I don't know why I cannot have you
You say you're stuck, you can't get back
With your van up on a jack
I remind you about the spare in back
You say, "Yeah, but two tires are flat"
I know I cannot have you
Ohoo ooh ooh
So, do unto others as the highway does to you
Come on, set me free
I'm not talking about tomorrow
I'm not talking anymore
I'm just tired of waking up lonely
Of waking up lonely
