That's Why
Troy Cartwright Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Does the rain need a reason to fall?
Does your mom need a reason to call?
Do magnolia trees need a reason to bloom in May?

Do the stars need a reason to shine?
Does tequila go with a lime?
Some things just are and it will always be that way
So when you ask me why I love you, babe

'Cause the sky's blue
'Cause the world moves
Around the Sun and one plus one
Still makes two
'Cause Matthew comes before Mark
'Cause you're in my arms
And I still lose myself every time I look in your eyes
That's why

When the road we're on gets rough
And the champagne all dries up
I'll still raise my empty glass to you and me

'Cause girl we still got us
And I'll keep on showing up
I already got more reasons than I need
To love you

'Cause the sky's blue
'Cause the world moves
Around the Sun and one plus one
Still makes two
'Cause Matthew comes before Mark
'Cause you're in my arms
And I still lose myself every time I look in your eyes
That's why

Ooh and that's why
Ah
So when you ask me why I love you, babe

'Cause the sky's blue
'Cause the world moves
Around the Sun and one plus one
Still makes two
'Cause Matthew comes before Mark
'Cause you're in my arms
And I still lose myself every time I look in your eyes
And that's why





Yeah, that's why

Overall Meaning

In the song "That's Why" by Troy Cartwright, the singer explains why he loves his partner. He starts by asking rhetorical questions about whether certain things in life need a reason to exist, such as the rain, a mother's love, and blooming magnolia trees. The chorus then lists common things that don't need a reason to exist, like the blue sky, the orbit of the Earth, and the fact that one plus one equals two. The singer then explains that he loves his partner because she's in his arms, and he loses himself every time he looks into her eyes. He promises to love her even when things get rough in their relationship, and he already has more than enough reasons to keep loving her.


The lyrics of this song are simple yet powerful, as the singer uses everyday things to express the depth of his love for his partner. By asking rhetorical questions and providing simple answers, he implies that his love for his partner doesn't need an explanation – it just is. The use of rhetorical devices, such as the repetition of "that's why" in the chorus, further emphasizes the simplicity and inevitability of the singer's love for his partner. Overall, the song is a heartfelt declaration of love that celebrates the beauty of the ordinary.
