The Strokes ☆ Hard To Explain

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
Oh 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
Trying to remind her
When we go back
I missed the last bus I’ll take the next train
I try but you see it’s hard to explain
I say the right things 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
Says he can’t decide
I shake my head to say
Everything’s 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 things 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 miss the last bus we take the next train
I try but you see it’s hard to explain
