Why

Why aren't I one of these interesting people, who's always got something to say
To not be contrived, and to feel so alive, and to never, have wasted, a day
To go for long walks, have well informed talks, in a non-confrontational way
Why aren't I one of these interesting people and why won't you stay?

I'm still having the same conversation
I've been having for years
I just want to read and retain information
Just face up to my fears
I look at myself and it's so plain to see
All I need is to change, change
Not too much I still want to be me
Everyone looks the same

Why is my phone full of so many numbers, and why doesn't anyone call?
Maybe they think that I'm always too busy, or maybe I've no friends at all
While I'm watching TV, they're all out necking E's and while obviously I'm appalled
Why is my phone full of so many numbers and why don't you call?
