I Couldn't Explain Why Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Doctanian 

Cover art for I Couldn't Explain Why lyrics by Citizen Cope

In a couple of hours The morning is comin' And I'm hittin' the door runnin' The gasoline is burnin' And I couldn't explain why

(Sometimes

The message that I've been given Could have us drown in the river and Still I gotta deliver it and I, I couldn't explain why

(The message Cope has is dangerous, but he's still compelled to deliver the message.)

I hold a couple of grudges I could've had a couple of touches If I hadn't had a couple of crutches And I couldn't explain why

(I will have to go with a previous answer to this. He holds a couple of grudges against people. The "couple of touches/couple of crutches" bit may refer to a football injury; which may be the reason he has a couple of grudges. This can be an example of the things that people usually mope about in life. The "touches/crutches" don't technically have to refer to football, they're pretty much a metaphor for the ups and downs in life.)

World keeps turnin' The sun keeps burnin' For all to learn what Heavens only knows Why do some Get taken too young All these answers That heaven only knows

(This is the beautiful meaning of the song. With is "things happen, and I can't explain why. Only God and the Heavens knows. We'll eventually know when we reach Heaven.")

Song Meaning

I can't believe I posted without making sure I was finished. Smh.

In a couple of hours The morning is comin' And I'm hittin' the door runnin' The gasoline is burnin' And I couldn't explain why

(Sometimes you do things just because. Much like Cope's music. He does it just because.)
