Pretty self-explanatory: Why *can't* people just say what they need to say?

lyrics

Why can’t people just say what they need to say
Why can’t people just do what they need to do
Why can’t I get all my words out
Cause if I did I don’t think they’d be true

It’s a lost cause and I’m not
The most known to be okay with being lonely
And it’s true, I’m into you
But every kiss is just a little bit fuzzy

Why can’t people just say what they need to say
Why can’t people just do what they need to do
Why can’t I get all my words out
Cause if I did I don’t think they’d be true

My landscape changed today
And all it did was leave me feeling confused
I’ll wait to stand and say
That all I want is to be with you

Why can’t people just say what they need to say
Why can’t people just do what they need to do
Why can’t I get all my words out
Cause if I did I don’t think they’d be true

Dreams take flight I’m losing my mind
It’s too soon to make a call, make it all spill out
I’m not afraid, it’s just that kind of day
Where everything is funneled through, funneled through

Why can’t people just say what they need to say
Why can’t people just do what they need to do
Why can’t I get all my words out
Cause if I did I don’t think they’d be true

When all the seas, take me
Down on a low, cresting those highs
I’d take all that, over changing tracks
When I’m stuck all alone in my stationary times

Why can’t people just say what they need to say
Why can’t people just do what they need to do
Why can’t I get all my words out
Cause if I did I don’t think they’d be true
