Nick Valensi - Hard To Explain lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 [Pre-Chorus] Raised in Carolina I'm not like that Tryin' 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'm watching 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 2] He said, he can't decide I shake my head to say Every thing's just great Oh, 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'm watching 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 pleased Pretend to be nice Though I can be mean I missed the last bus We'll take the next train I'll try, but you see It's hard to explain
