HARD TO EXPLAIN ( The Strokes ) Introdução: Was an honest man They asked me for the phone They 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 Friends can care alike now I'm not like that Trying to remind her When we go back I miss the last bus, I take the next train I try but you see it's hard to explain I say the right thing 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 INTROD. Your ride is through As if she can't decide I shake my head to say Everything's just great Oh, I just can't remember I just can't remember Friends can care alike now 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 ever so keen Pretend to be nice but I can be mean I miss the last bus, you take the next train I try but you see it's hard to explain
