Píseň: Hard To Explain

Interpret:

Album:
Hard to Explain EP
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
