[Verse 1]

Was an honest man

Asked me for the phone

Tried to take control

[Refrain]

Oh, I, I don't see it that way

I don't see it that way

[Verse 2]

We shared some ideas

All obsessed with fame

Says we're all the same

[Refrain]

Oh, I, I don't see it that way

I don't see it that way

[Pre-Chorus]

Raised in Carolina

"I'm not like that"

Trying to remind her

When we go back

[Chorus]

I missed the last bus, I'll take the next train

I'll 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

"You're right, it's true"

[Verse 3]

He says he can't decide

I shake my head to say

"Everything's just great"

[Refrain]

Oh, I, I just can't remember

I just can't remember

[Pre-Chorus]

Raised in Carolina, she says

"I'm not like that"

Trying to remind her

When we go back

[Chorus]

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

Oh, man, can't you see? I'm nervous, so please

Pretend to be nice, so I can be mean

I missed the last bus, we take the next train

I try, but, you see, it's hard to explain
