That's Why

City livin' life has opened my eyes to many things in the past few years. One of the most obvious is the apparent broken and lonely lives that we lead, no matter where we come from, or where we are going.
We are some broken people with stories to tell. We are lost and in need. That's why we all get lost and found.

lyrics

Lonely Girl with a telephone wire
wrapped around her neck so tight
she wont come down for a while

If you find her let me know
if you find her tell her that I love her so

That's why we have been lonely, alone for a while
That's why we all get lost and found

Honest man with his heart on his sleeve
can't understand…he never finds enough sleep
We can cuddle up so cold
We can get close to someone…
We never know if we'll see them,
knows if she'll see him,
knows if he'll see her again.

Cocaine Nights for friends on the weekends she bends around when
Cocaine Highs only bring you down…down…down….

That's why we have been lonely,
alone for a little why.
That's why we all get lost and found
THat's why we all get lonely for a little while
That's why we all get lost and found again, again, again.

about

ELANI Portland, Oregon

ELANI was formed in 2005 by Chris & Jonathan Miller on the heels of their North Carolina-based fun-rock band "Alfonso". ELANI grew to a four piece in 2006 and was big on myspace and in coffeeshops, but mostly lived inside of the imagination of the brothers Miller. "Speaking in Cursive" was the breakout EP that landed a few singles in independent films and put ELANI on the Portland-area map. ... more
