Why Lyrics

Why aren't I one of these interesting people
Who's always got something to say?
To not be contrived and to feel so alive
And to never have wasted a day
To go for long walks and have well-informed talks
In an unconfrontational way
Why aren't I one of these interesting people
And why won't you stay?

I'm still having the same conversation
I've been having for years
I just want to read and retain information
Just face up to my fears
I look at myself and it's so plain to see
All I need is to change
Not too much, I still want to be me
Everyone looks the same

Why is my phone full of so many numbers
And why doesn't anyone call?
Maybe they think I'm always too busy
Or maybe I've no friends at all
When I'm watching tv they're all out necking Es
And well obviously I'm appalled
Why is my phone full of so many numbers
And why don't you call?

I'm still having the same conversation
I've been having for years
I just want to read and retain information
Just face up to my fears
I look at myself and it's so plain to see
All I need is to change
Not too much, I still want to be me
Everyone looks the same

Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah

I'm still having the same conversation
I've been having for years
I just want to read and retain information
Just face up to my fears
I look at myself and it's so plain to see
All I need is to change
Not too much, I still want to be me
Everyone looks the same

i think this song could be about just life in general.

Like you just see people that are just like the life of the party and you wonder why can't you be like that or wondering why you know some many people they don't call you. and you like make a realisation that to be the things you want to be you need to change, but like really don't want to change because you want to be yourself, and if you do change you will be like everyone else.

I don't think its like a super duper you have to pick apart every line, its pretty straight forward. Its all about wonder "Why?"

When I first heard this song, I thought it was about changing yourself to be with the person you love, but now I think it's about not being able to get over an ex maybe? Sorry if I'm wrong though

This song is the story of my life. She is describing a feeling of feeling like everybody else is more interesting and she feels like nobody cares for her anymore :/
