If you're scared and it shows 'Cause you're watching them grow And traveling blows when you're out of road And when you jump up the earth wants you back
Your resentment grow 'till you're all alone But you're so smart how could they not know When you're standing there in good humored white
And how do you do it? And make it seem effortless When it's all the stupid things So overwhelming to me Like paying my bills Or showing up for work early Or laughing at your jokes
When you first said that anything goes Or a problem is a task disguised in work clothes That's when I knew I had to move And do you do it?
And make it seem delicate When it's all the stupid things So damn confusing to me Like talking it through
Controlling my temper Like letting it go Saying please forgive me Or laughing at your jokes
I have no idea what's been going on lately And I just wish you'd come over and explain things
And I have no idea what's been going on lately And I just wish you'd come over and explain things
I have no idea what's been going on lately And I just wish you'd come over and explain things (Repeat)
Why do they do it? Show up anyway When they know that damn well There is no room for promotions out here
And maybe it's wise And maybe I'm just stupid For laughing at your jokes
