[Chorus] Hey, I heard it from the state They told me you were never gonna let me get away And if you took me fishing you would never give me bait I had to get away, I had to get away, ay-ay Hey, you try to compensate For thinking with your one brain I should decapitate You showed me all your letters that I should've confiscated Both of my eyes were weighted and I had to get away [Verse 1] Talking to ears that have been deaf For as long as I can remember A self-medicated handicap, so I speak to myself And I try so hard to get his stupid deaf ears to hear That I've become illiterate, I've become dumb (Ya hear me? Ya hear me? Ya hear me?) [Pre-Chorus 1] When I come through, you were dark blue And I saved you from your darker days Born to take care of you Or I thought so, maybe it was just a phase [Chorus] Hey, I heard it from the state They told me you were never gonna let me get away And if you took me fishing you would never give me bait I had to get away, I had to get away, I had to get away Hey, you try to compensate For thinking with your one brain I should decapitate You showed me all your letters that I should've confiscated Both of my eyes were weighted, I had to get away [Verse 2] Shot down by a guy I never wanted to kiss And I can hear the singing of his ringing triumphing And I'm chugging along in a train And I'm heading the wrong way, and I'm a trainwreck And my heart goes "beat, beat, beat" to the music of this sad, same song It's quite depressing There is no fixing to the problem when you're talking to an idiot [Pre-Chorus 2] When I come through, you were dark blue And I saved you, from your darker days Born to take care of you Or I thought so, maybe it was just a phase Baby, only maybe Just a dreamer, but I soon found out Heard the train tracks were behind me Tried to warn me, but both of my ears went out [Interlude] (But then my ears went out, out, out...) [Pre-Chorus 1] When I come through, you were dark blue And I saved you, from your darker days Born to take care of you Or I thought so, maybe it was just a phase [Chorus] Hey, I heard it from the state They told me you were never gonna let me get away And if you took me fishing you would never give me bait I had to get away, I had to get away, I had to get away Hey, you try to compensate For thinking with your one brain I should decapitate You showed me all your letters that I should've confiscated Both of my eyes were weighted, I had to get away
