Hard to Explain lyrics

[Verse 1]
Was an honest man
Asked me for the phone
Tried to take control

[Refrain]
Oh, I, I don't see it that way
I don't see it that way

[Verse 2]
We shared some ideas
All obsessed with fame
Says we're all the same

[Refrain]
Oh, I, I don't see it that way
I don't see it that way

[Pre-Chorus]
Raised in Carolina
"I'm not like that"
Trying 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 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"
[Verse 3]
He says he can't decide
I shake my head to say
"Everything's just great"

[Refrain]
Oh, I, 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 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 missed the last bus, we take the next train
I try, but, you see, it's hard to explain
