The Strokes - Hard To Explain
Was an honest man
They asked me for the phone
They 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
Friends can care alike now
I'm not like that
Trying to remind her
When we go back
I miss the last bus, I take the next train
I try 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
Your ride is through
As if she can't decide
I shake my head to say
Everything's just great
Oh, I just can't remember
I just can't remember
Friends can care alike now
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 ever so keen
Pretend to be nice but I can be mean
I miss the last bus, you take the next train
I try but you see it's hard to explain
