The Strokes - Hard To Explain lyrics

rate me

Was an honest man

Asked me for the phone

Tried to take control

Oh I don't see it that way

I don't see it that way

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

Raised in Carolina

I'm not like that

Tryin' to remind her

When we go back

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'm watching T.V.

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

As if she can't decide

I shake my head to say

Everythings 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'm watching TV

Forget what I'm told

Well, I am too young

And they are too old

Oh, man cant you see

I'm nervous, so please

Pretend to be nice

So I can be mean

I missed the last bus

I'll take the next train

I'll try, but you see

It's hard to explain
