Nowadays lyrics
by Eels
(Something's not right, I don't understand)
Nowadays I keep to myself
Everybody else can look some other way
Things I say seem to get me into trouble
That I've been through for too many days
And trouble is a friend of mine
I'd like to leave behind
I like my friends more refined
Things I lose, weighing on my heart
Every time I start to think maybe it's through
A little lie, goes a long way
When you can't say quite for sure what's the truth
The truth is something no one really
Wants to hear you say
Just how you doin' and have a nice day
Nowadays you go for a walk
Better not stop and wave or say hello
Just as soon, people will spit, give you sh*t
Just for looking at them and walking too slow
Slowly and methodically
I'll lock the world away
Haunted by my better days
