lyrics

Was it too much time on the couch
and the dog is at the door again
Is that a neighbor knocking or barking or a bad headache?

It’s the traffic, it’s the cell phone
I get stressed out the moment i head home
Too much time on the driveway has left me dry

Yeah I’m right outside Los Angeles
And it feels like I’m failing apart
Thought i was building a life.
It’s not what I planned, but hey, we just got a ceiling fan

Did I turn into my father?
I got married as a child and my moms still alive
and her parents can’t drive, so I visit them sometimes

But I keep on falling apart
And while I’m falling apart
I keep wondering, wondering why

WHYYY’d you let me down again
With the words of an old man
Yeah I loved that’d song, when I was young

I swam back in with a breaststroke
To a beach packed to the shore
And the kids they surf so well
While their parents yell at them

And the drive back home is hell
as the traffic begins to swell
Till the roads downtown feel damned
How do I get home again?

But I keep on falling apart
And while I’m falling apart
I keep wondering, wondering why

WHYYY’d you let me down again
With the words of an old man
Yeah I loved that’d song, when I was young

Feeling bad, feeling down
Out of place in this town
Trying hard to get it right
I end up failing most of the time
