I try to hide it I try to just lay low Be on my way back home But I know That you don't like it You're staring out the window At the rows and rows of those Same familiar buildings The same old unavoidable feeling Welling up Patterns in the ceiling In the ceiling The same band posters on your wall And the same conversation I'm too distant and I'm too cynical Am I listening? Don't be difficult I don't wanna sit thru all The same explanations I'm so tired of words and visuals I'll just swallow it I'll just swallow it I guess I'll just swallow all my pride I guess I'll just swallow all my Thoughts I have inside I guess nobody likes my insights I don't mind I guess I just won't try to be understood anymore But you don't like it You're saying Baby don't you know nobody knows you better than me? And I'm scared to leave I'm scared to leave Then your roommate came stumbling in With an awkward hello and then She disappeared fully again (I hate it, I hate it, I hate it) I guess the good life never begins Cause the stalling never ends Should we just do takeout again? (I hate it, I hate it, I hate it)
