I don't know why
Preston Hutto Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ease your intentions
Let your whole world fall back in line
Numb your receptors
Let your brain shut down along with mine
Tell me you love me
I'd bet that love only lasts tonight
Show me you're worth it
Moments before both our worlds collide

I don't know why
I don't know why
I can't seem to get up or tell you goodbye
I can't describe
I can't describe
The feeling you cause when you're right by my side
You lift the weight of the world off my shoulders
Baby the nights almost over
Lost in your eyes
Lost in your eyes
I'm stuck in your love now and I don't know why

Baby come closer
I'll make sure you never want to leave
The rooms getting slower
Then you grab my face bring me back to speed
Let me control ya
I'll make it hard not to think of me
Mud in my soda
Your hand on my heart to make sure it beats

I don't know why
I don't know why
I can't seem to get up or tell you goodbye
I can't describe
I can't describe
The feeling you cause when you're right by my side
You lift the weight of the world off my shoulders
Baby the nights almost over
Lost in your eyes
Lost in your eyes
I'm stuck in your love now and I don't know why

Let go baby tell me what you're scared of
What could go wrong come close I need to feel ya
Don't make a sound we've been here like this before x2

I don't know why x4

I don't know why
I don't know why
I can't seem to get up or tell you goodbye
I can't describe
I can't describe
The feeling you cause when you're right by my side
You lift the weight of the world off my shoulders
Baby the nights almost over
Lost in your eyes




Lost in your eyes
I'm stuck in your love now and I don't know why

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Preston Hutto's song, Don't Know Why, convey the idea of surrendering oneself to romantic passion without thinking of the consequences. The chorus repeats the phrase "I don't know why" to emphasize the confusion and lack of control experienced by the singer. The first verse advises the listener to ease their intentions and let their world "fall back in line," implying that they should let go of their inhibitions and indulge in the moment. The lyrics suggest that the physical attraction between the two is more important than the emotional commitment, as the singer bets that the love between them will only last for one night. The second verse further emphasizes this idea as the singer promises to control the object of their desire and make it "hard not to think of me." However, the chorus implies that the singer is also trapped by their emotions and doesn't understand the reason behind their overwhelming feelings.


The bridge of the song depicts a moment of vulnerability as the singer asks their lover to open up about their fears and come close so that they can "feel ya." The repetition of "I don't know why" in the final chorus suggests that the singer is still confused about their intense emotions and their inability to resist the attraction they feel.


Overall, the lyrics of Don't Know Why convey the idea that sometimes we can't explain why we feel drawn to someone, even if we know that it might not be a wise choice. The song suggests that there is a certain magic in surrendering ourselves to the moment and letting our emotions take over.
