EELS - Nowadays lyrics

rate me

Nowadays I keep to myself

Everybody else can look some other way

Things I say seem to get me into trouble

That I've been through for too many days

And trouble is a friend of mine

I'd like to leave behind

I like my friends more refined

Things I lose

Weighing on my heart

Every time I start to think

Maybe it's through

A little lie

Goes a long way when you can't say

Quite for sure what's the truth

The truth is something no one really

Wants to hear you say

Just how you doin and have a nice day

Nowadays you go for a walk

Better not stop and wave or say hello

Just this song

People will spit, give you shit

Just for looking at them

And for walking too slow

Slowly and methodically

I'll lock the world away

Haunted by my better days
