This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
Is it me,
Who never compromise,
I only see things through my eyes,
Which means is my way?
Or is it you
Who's always shutting down,
Never wanting to talk about the problems we got?
Or is it we to blame for all that's going down?
I say that I love you but we can't work it out.
It's making us not want to stay around.
We need to sit down and ask ourselves.
Why can't we (why can't we)
Why can't we get along
When we know we can't be away from each other for long?
Why can't we (why can't we)
Why can't we get along
When at the end of the day we know we gotta come home?
Why can't we (why can't we)
Why can't we get along
When we know we can't be away from each other for long?
Why can't we (why can't we)
Why can't we get along
When at the end of the day we know we gotta come home?
Tell me
Why can't I look at you
And see your point of view
And take the back seat?
Is it true
That I'm so unreasonable
And I don't know how to love
Even though God sent to me to you?
Or is it we to blame for all that's going down?
I say that I love you but we can't work it out.
It's making us not want to stay around.
We need to sit down and ask ourselves.
Why can't we (why can't we)
Why can't we get along
When we know we can't be away from each other for long?
Why can't we (why can't we)
Why can't we get along
When at the end of the day we know we gotta come home?
Why can't we (why can't we)
Why can't we get along
When we know we can't be away from each other for long?
Why can't we (why can't we)
Why can't we get along
When at the end of the day we know we gotta come home?
I just can't sit and watch us go at each other this way.
'Cause you know like I know we're better than this.
Girl, I've tried everything in my heart but it's weighing to be more than just your man.
'Cause you deserve the best.
Together we're the best.
We just can't throw it away.
Why can't we (why can't we)
Why can't we get along
When we know we can't be away from each other for long?
Why can't we (why can't we)
Why can't we get along
When at the end of the day we know we gotta come home?
Why can't we (why can't we)
Why can't we get along
When we know we can't be away from each other for long?
Why can't we (why can't we)
Why can't we get along
When at the end of the day we know we gotta come home?
'Cause you know I love you, and I know you love me
Can we, can we baby?
Oh, why can't we get along, when we both know that this is home?
Why can't we (why can't we)
Why can't we get along
When we know we can't be away from each other for long?
Why can't we (why can't we)
Why can't we get along
When at the end of the day we know we gotta come home?

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

I can't believe 112's music doesn't get that much exposure, this song in particular is one of their best.. 2 people who can't seem to get along & compromise when they're so in love & can't live with out eachother...sigh
