lyrics

They try to pry me from my room but I won't listen.
They say there;s so much out there that I'm missing.
Well, I would rather watch a movie in bed alone,
Or pretend I didn't hear the ringing of my phone.

I've been trying really hard
not to sleep on my right arm.
All my friends they laugh because they don't know who they are,
I can brush it out, but my hair still looks like yarn.

I just don't have the strength to cut it off yet,
I'm just not happy with the way my year's been.

I complain to anyone who will listen,
and if I want a compliment I'll go fishin'.
I'm low and I'm sure it shows because my hair is as dirty as my clothes.

I just don't have the strength to cut it off,
I'm just not happy with the way my year's gone.

And honestly, I think I like being sad,
It's a narrative of everything I never had.
That's why I smile when I put on my cap,
Just knowing what's underneath my hat.

So when I finally cut it off it'll be for me,
And maybe next year I'll be happy.

Perfectly encapsulates the teenage experience. Finding this album while still young and in high school was the best decision I've made in quite awhile. charlesjr
