lyrics

I don’t think your parents would like me much
They’re in the business of keeping their son
And I’m a distraction
To their craft, then

Shoes left at your best friend’s door
‘Cause damn, I just had to stand on that floor
But I got the feeling
I shouldn’t be there, see there’s

Those who spend their life wanting
I’ve got to find something else
Nobody ever wants me
Nobody ever wants me
Nobody ever wants me to be with you

I don’t think your coworkers dig my style
I’m acting casual browsing the aisle
It's a vacuum
In the back room

Drove an hour to your childhood house
And now you tell me we’re turning around
‘Cause everyone’s screaming
You shouldn’t be there, be there, beware

Well I know what I’m done wanting
And that’s the life of someone else
Nobody ever wants me
But I’ll be the one who stops me
No, I don’t ever want me to get near you

I don’t think, your parents would
No one thinks I’m any good
You don’t think your parents would
Think that we’d be any good
You don’t think, but your parents would
No one thinks you’re any good
Ya don’t think?
You don’t think, you don’t think
You don’t think, you don’t think
And I think, I think
You could
