Those words that I tried not to say
But words don't seem to come out the same
Please don't look at me that way
'Cause I'm not interested in what you say

Sometimes it feels like these buildings are asleep
You're so smart and I'm so bored

And I know
You're so awkward on the phone
Please don't speak so loud
Why won't you come home?
Or just stay out all night, again!

It's sweet when you quote the books you've read
But you've said too much, I know that smile too well
I tried hard not to make you stay
'Cause you're not interested in what I say

Sometimes I feel like these buildings are asleep
You're so smart and I'm so bored.

And I know
You're so awkward on the phone
Please don't speak so loud
Why won't you come home?
Or just stay out all night, again!
