Why Not?
Christian Leave Lyrics

Spreading out the blanket you bought as a rug
You're settling for less and trying to make do with what you have.

You're holding on the threading hoping
You're clinging onto something you know is fragile, hoping it won't break.

You can find some love in the comfort
Sometimes comfort can be mistaken for love, which isn't always the case.

Of a walked on rehash
You're settling for something that has been used repeatedly and has lost its value.

The sun is coming down
The day is coming to an end.

The heat will start to follow
As the day ends, the emotional burden will begin to set in.

So now's your chance
This is the perfect opportunity to take action and make a change.

So I say
The artist is encouraging and urging the listener to make a change.

"Hey you, why not work on it
The artist is asking the listener to take a step forward and work on making a positive change in their life.

Like we used to?"
The artist is reminiscing about how they used to work together to make things better.

Turn it up
The singer is encouraging the listener to take action and make a change.

And let the middle cone blast
This is a metaphor for taking risks and being bold enough to make a change.

I look the other way
The singer is intentionally ignoring something for a moment.

And see you cracking up and laugh
The singer sees the listener laughing and finding joy in the moment.

With your hand out
This could be a metaphor for reaching out for help or support from someone.

And your phone lit
The listener may be using their phone as a distraction from their problems.

You're smoking again
The listener may be resorting to unhealthy habits to cope with their problems.

Sedentary repetition
The listener is stuck in a monotonous routine that isn't serving them well.

Oh, I wanna be so much more than this
The singer wants to do better and be more than what they are currently settling for.

Oh, I wanna feel like I'm way too far
The artist wants to push themselves to be better and go beyond what they thought was possible.

But it doesn't seem it's happening
The artist is acknowledging that progress may not come easily and quickly.

No, it doesn't seem it's happening
The artist is repeating their acknowledgment that change may not come easily.

So I say
The singer is repeating their earlier encouragement to take action and make a change.

"Hey you, why not work on it
The artist is once again encouraging the listener to take control and work on making a change in their life.

Like we used to?"
The singer is reminiscing about how they used to work together to make things better and challenging the listener to do the same.
