lyrics

Well he’s trying, in his way,
To convince you of his interest
But you figure that he’s still gonna stray
Yeah he takes you out to dinner
But he’s flirtin’ with the waitress
And you’re trying to act impressed
When he doesn’t let you pay

So the next day on the phone
Yeah you’re talking to your mother
And she says you don’t sound bothered or upset
True you don’t feel devastated
Just feel kinda disregarded
And it hurts and you don’t like it
That’s as far as you can get

Wednesday morning and you’re sick
Had a late night, had a good time
Or at least not such a bad time, no you had fun
Yeah these nights start like they oughta
But they don’t end like they used to
Just a memory that you cling to
And the clear sense that it’s done

So now you’re talking to your boss
And he asks you how you’re feeling
And he’s smiling while he’s asking, like he knows
You don’t mind so much the question
You just mind the lack of caring
And that shit grin that he’s wearing
Like you’re buddies, like you’re pals

Feel like something’s going wrong and
You’re more complicit than you know
Most of the time you feel like you’re set apart
But you’re not though
Not even close

Fit the key into the lock
Hey you got home a bit early
Smoke a rollie by the window, ash on your clothes
It’s a quiet night in summer
You can hear the neighbors laughing
On the street somebody’s honking
You turn on the radio
