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 how 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 

And 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 

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
