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

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 Tryin' 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 said the right things but act the wrong way I like it right here but I cannot stay

I watched 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

He said 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 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 watched the TV, forget what I'm told I am too young and they are too old

I'll make it you see I'm nervous, so please Pretend to be nice so I can be mean I missed the last bus, I'll take the next train I try, but you see It's hard to explain
