Hard to Explain Songtext
von Owen Pallett

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
