Lyrics

Why

Tell me

Tell me

[Verse 1]

Somewhere in between here and heaven

Somewhere in between where and why

Somewhere in another dimension

I can hear you asking me why

Why?

Why?

[Verse 2]

Tell me can you hear me I’m calling

Tell me you can hear me, don’t cry

Tell me that you’re not feeling lonely

Somewhere in between where and why

[Bridge]

I will wait for you

Will you wait for me?

I will wait for you

Will you wait for me?

Tell me

Tell me

Tell me

Tell me

[Verse 3]

Somewhere at the crossroads of nowhere

Somewhere at the crossroads of why

Somewhere in another dimension

I can hear you asking me why

Why?

Why?

[Bridge]

Will you wait for me?

I will wait for you

Will you wait for me?

I will wait for you

Tell me

Tell me

Tell me

Tell me

[Verse 1]

Somewhere in between here and heaven

Somewhere in between where and why

Somewhere in another dimension

I can hear you asking me why
