Can You?

Toshio Mana

Playlist

straight up acoustic rock.

My staging ground for ideas I'm working on... Likely to be lots of stuff in various stages of completion. It will run the gamut, too - from experimental/abstract electronica to straight-ahed pop, proggish-rock to spoken word.

Story behind the song

just an old riff and a couple ideas that started coming out of my mouth...

Lyrics

can you tell my feelings 
that there's nothing wrong with the sun?
can you tell my heart
that there's nothing wrong with a steady beat?
can you tell my footsteps
that there's nothing wrong with the ground?
can you tell my eyes
that there's nothing wrong with the world they see?

can you tell my morning 
that there's nothing wrong with the day?
can you tell my sky 
that there's nothing wrong with a little rain?
can you tell my worries
that there's nothing wrong with a dream?
can you tell my fear 
that there's nothing wrong with the words he means?

I could almost hope that there is something wrong with him
'Cuz I know that a beginning always means an end...
And I don't know if I can stand to lose another friend

Take it slow when I know the world is bent on rushing by
Take if fast when the past is something still here at my side
Take the road that will lead to hope when all my maps are wrong
take a stand where the shit will land as soon as you are gone...

can you tell my stomach
that there's nothing wrong with my pride?
can you tell my ghosts
that there's nothing wrong with the basement floor?
can you tell my secrets
that there's nothing wrong with a lie?
can you tell my walls 
that there's nothing wrong with an open door?

And I know that every chance means something new to find
but I can't beging to chose what I must leave behind

[ chorus ]

can you tell my fingers
that there's nothing wrong with a touch 
can you tell my lips 
that there's nothing wrong with a goodbye kiss
can you tell my shoulders 
that there's nothing wrong with my sleeves
can you tell my tears
that there's more to life than all of this

And I know that there are feelings I should understand
But tonight the strength it takes is something I don't have
And I wish that I could say there was nothing wrong with me
'Cuz I know your love is something I should receive...
