Hard To Explain

Was an honest man Asked me for the phone Tried to take control I don't see it that way I don't see it that way We shared some ideas All obsessed with fate Ways we're all the same 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 tried but you see It's hard to explain I say the right thing 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 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 she says I'm not like that Trying to remind her When we go back I say the right thing 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 I'll make it you see I'm ever so pleased 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
