Hard To Explain

Raised in carolina
"i'm not like that"
Trying to remind her
When we go back

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
