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
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’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
He said 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 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 nervous?
So please pretend to be nice so 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
