Why? Lyrics

I've only driven a hundred miles since you've gone
And I've only given my energy away
When I meet a newbie I slowly crack and spill the past
I realize this is phony but there is so much love

Why? Try?

The suits, they tried to claim that
Everything he won was theirs
But Mother read the files
And saved the name he shed

Why?
Why? Try? Because I can't go on without you
Since you've passed away

When I'm turning japanese
I always think you're mad at me
But I am no conformist
I just like to free my troops
Like to free my troops

Why?
Why? Try? Cause I can't go on without you
Since you've passed away

what exactly does Rob mean when he says "cause i cant go on without you, since you've passed away" b/c it isnt very logical to write to a person who died (aka PASSED AWAY) sooooo im just a lil confused about this song!

Cover art for Why? lyrics by Rooney

I believe he is talking about his dad in this song. He dies...flight 22 is about him too. So i'm pretty sure this song is about him

this part always puzzles me: "When I'm turning japanese I always think you're mad at me But I am no conformist I just like to free my troops Like to free my troops" i realize the connection to the vapors's song turning japanese, but i dont get that song either haha

turning japanese means masturbating. so im assuming that freeing his troops would be... well you get the picture. how this ties in with a song about his dad dying, i have no clues. and i don't understand how it wouldn't be logical to write a song about a person who has passed away. happens all the time, doesn't it?

i thought this song was called why try oh well my bad i dont really get this song its seems a it random and does anyone know when the new rooney album is coming out i can't wait this long

Cover art for Why? lyrics by Rooney

Yeah I think that this song is about his dad he writes about him a lot a bit that he was really close to him Why try Flight 22 1994- this one it is very clear it's about his dad
