Stuck at home once again on a Monday morning It’s a pattern But I swear it was just fine the other day Sunday came and it went everything seemed normal With no problems But they still found their way to me anyway Don’t understand what happened then Won’t understand what happens next In a mess and I guess this is my new problem ‘Cause it’s broken But I swear it was just fine the other day Don’t understand what happened then Won’t understand what happens next In a mess and I guess this is my new problem ‘Cause it’s broken But I swear it was just fine the other day

I told you that’s it I told you that’s enough I told you that’s enough of this I hear objections I hear objections and I hear objections and dismiss I’d like to think that I’m better at this I’d like to think that I’m good But I’m not But I’m not We never seem to We never seem to find We never seem to find the time Another pointless Another pointless hill Another pointless hill to climb I’d like to think that we’re better at this I’d like to think that we’re good But we’re not No we’re not I’d like to think that I’m better at this I’d like to think that we’re good But we’re not No we’re not No we’re not No we’re not

I can’t take this home confinement anymore Want to go outside and hang out with my friends Take a road trip see the sights and smell the food I’m so bored I counted eyebrow hairs for fun Well, whatever you do, don’t What are we supposed to do I’ve been bored to tears for months Interaction has been down to Internet and grocery stores and my cat So I guess I’ll stay inside another year Every venture out feels like I’m risking life I’ll stay online order things and take a nap And avoid the plague and glasses fog again Well, whatever you do, don’t ...this sucks…

I woke up and everything was on the floor and I thought Man what happened yesterday Don’t remember everything that went down in this house and Couldn’t tell you when it did Don’t leave me this way My mind went astray Please don’t leave me this way Not again I went downstairs and the kitchen light was left on again And my car was still unlocked In the living room my cat got up and meowed in my face Guess some things remain the same Don’t leave me this way My mind went astray Please don’t leave me this way Not again I’m so sorry that my place is such a mess once again Yes I’m gonna clean this up Don’t leave me this way My mind went astray Please don’t leave me this way Not again

Come closer I wanna talk to you You, my friend I need to talk to you You can trust me I’m no sellout I need to know Can I trust you Don’t take the bait (don’t take the bait) Don’t take the bait (don’t take the bait) It’s all a scam you will be Sucked into some mindless selling job Don’t take the bait Coming back for more You will be coming back for more

And I see them moving once again Not a question why or how but when I see them in my sleep and I say My mind can’t take more of you No one can explain this mess to me And they’re out as far as I can see They haunt me in my dreams and I say My mind can’t take more of you I said that you need to leave Get out Get out Get out

I’m sick of all these places Stuffing their feel good tales Chock full of advertisements It’s all gone off the rails And this one guy Found this one thing You won’t believe what happens next I found a list this one time Each state’s defining quirk Got sick of all the clicks and Quit long before New York And this one guy Found this one thing You won’t believe what happens next

Now I’m driving down this cursed highway Destination is arriving soon On the road for hours and traffic’s okay In the sky I see the crescent moon Gotta get to where I need to go now My car’s rusted out but I don’t care Soon I’ll get to see some really cool things Maybe one more hour and I’ll be there STOP!... GO Happens every time I’m on this highway While my brain is fried and nerves are shot We’re all cruising down above the limit Then it turns into a parking lot STOP RIGHT THERE!... go ahead STOP… WAIT… OK Massachusetts Turnpike Massachusetts Turnpike Massachusetts Turnpike Massachusetts…

That was not What I meant You guessed wrong Once again Oh no Too late Oh no Too late That was not What I meant You guessed wrong Once again You insist I was wrong But I’m not You messed up Every day this dumb fight wears on Struggle with our own words - lines drawn in the sand

I don’t care about the weather I’ve been stuck inside and I’m going nuts So I’m gonna leave the confines Get into my car and drive all around Why risk it This can wait Everything’s Closed as is Be careful Don’t drive so fast You’ll hit the curb Or hit that car Look out

We set out for anywhere Never asking for directions Peeling ourselves out of there Never listening to corrections again You might find we’ve never left And we haven’t moved an inch Overanalyze it all So convinced of deeper meaning Turned a deaf ear to the call Life was slowly intervening again You might find we’ve never left And we haven’t moved an inch Yeah but if that was the case Tell me where I am right now ‘cause I’m not home Moving faster still Getting closer now Ever onward to This oblivion And all this time we were wrong Why did we think otherwise And all this time we were wrong So wrong
