Oh how in the world are you
Keeping up with the Jones' on the morning news
Taking pictures of some kind of brand new boots
Tell us how you're gonna use them
There is a way you say you love me
So terrifying temporarily
We used each other like two turn keys
Now we want out of the room
Well this is the stuff of legend
To wake up everyday pretending
Because
I don't understand my friends
I know nothing more than them
Maybe this can wait for a while
I'll go through the motions then
Hanging on to mostly threads
Maybe I'm in line for a smile
This is a good start so keep me on
You know how I go when the song is done
Optimism abounds when I'm on the run
Tell me more about my life please
Carpet burns on Velvet Underground
Drink as much as I can when I like the sound
Don't want to explain where it comes from now
It hits me right between the eyes
Well this is the stuff of legend
To wake up everyday pretending
Because
I don't understand my friends
I know nothing more than them
Maybe this can wait for a while
I'll go through the motions then
Hanging on to mostly threads
Maybe I'm in line for a smile
Maybe I'm in line for a smile
Don't forget me when I'm hiding in plain sight
I'm only disguised as what you don't like
Don't like
I'm just a drop of rain
In the great Northwest on an October day
Never know what I might do or say
I'm not always so black & white
So put on a song that I understand
Calm me down with your gentle hand
Tell me stories of war in a far off land
Tuck me in and say good night
Well this is the stuff of legend
You wake up everyday pretending
Because
I don't understand my friends
I know nothing more than them
Maybe this can wait for a while
(Maybe this can wait for a while)
I'll go through the motions then
Hanging on to mostly threads
Maybe I'm in line for a smile
(Maybe I'm in line for a smile)
Maybe I'm in line for a smile
(Maybe I'm in line for a smile)
Maybe I'm in line for a smile
