Nowadays Songtext
von EELS

Right there, where I stay on the G
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 ya' 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 shit
Just for looking at them and walking too slow

Slowly and methodically, I'll lock the world away
Haunted by my better days
