Rachael Yamagata — The Reason Why, Live Studio Recording

Damn do I miss the days when I could head down to the Good Bar on a Monday night and sit around listening to Rachael do her thing.

Lyrics:

I think about how it might have been
We’d spend our days travelin’
It’s not that I don’t understand you
It’s not that I don’t want to be with you
But you only wanted me
The way you wanted me

So, I will head out alone and hope for the best
And we can hang our heads down as we skip the goodbyes
You can tell the world what you want them to hear
I’ve got nothing left to lose, my dear
So, I’m up for the little white lies

But you and I know the reason why

I’m gone, and you’re still there
I’m gone, and you’re still there
I’m gone, and you’re still there

I’ll buy a magazine searching for your face
From coast to coast, or wherever I find my place
I’ll track you on the radio
And I’ll sign your list in a different name
But as close as I get to you
It’s not the same

So, I will head out alone and hope for the best
We can pat ourselves on the back and say that we tried
And if one of us makes it big
We can spill our regrets
And talk about how the love never dies

But you and I know the reason why
I’m gone, and you’re still there
I’m gone, and you’re still there
I’m gone, and you’re still there

So, steal the show
And do your best to cover the tracks that I have left
I wish you well and hope you find whatever you’re looking for
The way I might’ve changed my mind
But you only showed me the door

So, I’ll head out alone and hope for the best
We can hang our heads down as we say that we tried.
And if one of us makes it big
We can spill our regrets
And talk about how the love never dies
You and I
You and I
You and I

Know the reason why
