Lyrics

0:33Was an honest man
0:41Asked me for the phone
0:44Tried to take control
0:46Oh I don't see it that way
0:50I don't see it that way
0:59Oh we shared some ideas
1:07All obsessed with fame
1:10Says we're all the same
1:12Oh I don't see it that way
1:16I don't see it that way
1:22Raised in Carolina
1:29I'm not like that
1:33Trying to remind her
1:41When we go back
1:45I missed the last bus
1:46I'll take the next train
1:47I try but you see it's hard to explain
1:50I say the right things
1:52But act the wrong way
1:53I like it right here but I cannot stay
1:56I watch the TV forget what I'm told
1:59Well I am too young
2:00And they are too old
2:02The joke is on you this place is a zoo
2:05You're right it's true
2:35Says he can't decide
2:43I shake my head to say
2:46Everything's just great
2:48Oh I just can't remember
2:52I just can't remember
2:58Raised in Carolina she says
3:05I'm not like that
3:09Trying to remind her
3:17When we go back
3:21I say the right things
3:22But act the wrong way
3:23I like it right here but I cannot stay
3:26I watch the TV forget what I'm told
3:29Well I am too young
3:31And they are too old
3:32Oh man can't you see
3:33I'm nervous so please
3:35Pretend to be nice
3:36So I can be mean
3:38I miss the last bus
3:39We take the next train
3:41I try but you see
3:42It's hard to explain
Was an honest man
Asked me for the phone
Tried to take control
Oh  I don't see it that way
I don't see it that way
Oh  we shared some ideas
All obsessed with fame
Says we're all the same
Oh  I don't see it that way
I don't see it that way
Raised in Carolina
I'm not like that
Trying to remind her
When we go back
I missed the last bus
I'll take the next train
I try but you see  it's hard to explain
I say the right things
But act the wrong way
I like it right here  but I cannot stay
I watch the TV forget what I'm told
Well  I am too young
And they are too old
The joke is on you  this place is a zoo
You're right it's true
Says he can't decide
I shake my head to say
Everything's just great
Oh  I just can't remember
I just can't remember
Raised in Carolina  she says
I'm not like that
Trying to remind her
When we go back
I say the right things
But act the wrong way
I like it right here but I cannot stay
I watch the TV forget what I'm told
Well  I am too young
And they are too old
Oh  man  can't you see
I'm nervous  so please
Pretend to be nice
So I can be mean
I miss the last bus
We take the next train
I try but you see
It's hard to explain
