The car ride home, man it felt so long.
Even though the radio, it played my favorite songs.
How did I get deceived like this?
Windows down, turn it up loud. I'm left to reminisce.
Can't you see? I'm just trying to keep my head above the water.
I can feel cement around my feet.
It was planned, out of my hand, before I'd even speak.
Thoughts are strange. Can't control my mind.
If you don't know which way to go, what will you ever find?
Can't you see? I'm just trying to keep my head above the water.
Finally, it feels like I'm alive.
Shake your fist up at the sky. You can't get back that time.
How did I get deceived like this?
Windows down, turn it up loud. I'm left to reminisce.
Can't you see? I'm just trying to keep my head above the water.

Please, wait for me.
I'm no good at these sort of things.
I'll take my time.
Reciting lines to help me set the scene.
We're on our way.
I'll hold on to every word you say.
Just please, play nice.
One more time, then I will feel alright.
She gets exactly what she wants. I don't mind it much at all.
Light shines right in.
Thought I fixed the things I had broken.
But, nothings changed.
Look around. Your living room's been rearranged!
Men are so weak.
Crawl into the web. There's no need to speak.
Women can't win.
Demonize if you won't let us in.
She gets exactly what she wants. I don't mind it much at all.
She gets exactly what she wants. I don't mind it much at all.

Apathy Doesn't Suit You

She was born in the summer.
Loved to swim in the water.
Only time that she'd be free.
Only time that she'd be free.
Thought this time would be special.
Teach him how to be gentle.
Never got what she wanted.
Never got what she wanted.
Apathy doesn't suit you.
World weighs down on your shoulders.
Can't relate to your culture.
Promised you wouldn't take this.
Promised you wouldn't take this.
Caught himself in the mirror.
Can't make this any clearer.
No one's left here to catch you.
No one's left here to catch you.
Apathy doesn't suit you.

Looking for love in all the wrong places.
Didn't your mamma teach you no manners?
Looking for love in all the wrong places.
You better fix that chip on your shoulder.
Looking for love in all the wrong places.
Pretty at first but dark on the inside.
Looking for love in all the wrong places.
I want more than moments in moonlight.
Feels like a million hands are trying to pull me down.
Why won't they let me go? I'm sick of always being around.
I wanna see the world. I wanna live to take.
I am the end result of a thousand big mistakes.
And now I know the truth.
Looking for love in all the wrong places.
I can tell that this ain't your stop.
Looking for love in all the wrong places.
You and I got something in common.
Feels like a million hands are trying to pull me down.
Why won't they let me go? I'm sick of always being around.
I wanna see the world. I wanna live to take.
I am the end result of a thousand big mistakes.
And now I know the truth.
