Ben Kweller Picture
Ben Kweller(born June 16, 1981) is an American rockmusician and former lead singer of the 1990s band Radish, which was compared to Nirvanain Rolling Stone Magazine. The band grew in popularity in the Dallas, Texas music scene from its formation in 1993. However, the band was dismissed by critics as little more than an imitation of Nirvana with the novelty of an extremely young lead vocal-guitarist (Kweller was in his teens for the entire existence of the band). Nonetheless, Kweller and his two bandmates, bassist Bryan Blur and drummer John Kent, were signed to a major record label in 1995 by Mercury Records. Regardless of a much-hyped beginning, which included appearances on Conan O'Brien and David Letterman, Radish failed to strike big success with either its first record Dizzy or its sophomore effort Restraining Bolt.

I Don't Know Why Lyrics

Ben Kweller

check me out
i'm losing control
i wanna rock and roll
but everything i planned just slipped right through my hand
i don't know why

i'm a nice guy
i wanna take it easy baby
but every time i start, my world falls apart
i don't know why

the world is feelin' like it's passin' me by
i'm fixin' to lose it
but i don't know why

check me in
i wanna be your friend
i wanna be your lover, baby
but everything i say comes out the wrong way
i don't know why

so i guess i'll let it slide by
i wanna take it slowly, honey
i'm feelin' like a fake, every move i make
i don't know why

the world is feelin' like it's passin' me by
i'm fixin' to lose it
but i don't know why

again and again and again and again i try
i'm fixin' to lose it
but i don't know why

the world is feelin' like it's passin' me by
i'm fixin' to lose it
but i don't know why
