Can't Even Tell Lyrics

I may never get what I want,
but I'm happy just to die trying.
And I hope I ain't done nobody wrong,
but I miss you smiling.

And I'm looking for a cure cause I'm bored to tears.
And I'm stuck in here, stuck out here, stuck in here.

We lived through another day,
it's a good excuse to celebrate.
Take a number, knock on wood,
we'll find a reason to feel good.
I know, you know, I wanna know how I feel,
I can't even tell, I can't even tell, I can't even tell.

No one knows nothing about me,
I'm guessing I'll just keep 'em guessing.
No one sees what I see,
This is my blessing.

And I'm looking for a way to get out of here.
Get me out of here, out of here, out of here.

We lived through another day,
It's a good excuse to celebrate
Take a number, knock on wood,
find a reason to feel good.
I know, you know, you wanna know how I feel,
I can't even tell, I can't even tell, I can't even tell.

I'm out of here, out of here, out of here.
I know, you know, I want to know how I feel,
I can't tell.
I know, you know, I'll tell you if it's real,
It sounded like a bell, I can't even tell,
I can't even tell...

hell yah a great song from clerks that i suggest to everyone to see that movie and any other kevin smith movie if you are not offended by profanity (his movie jay and silent bob strike back said the f word more times then any other movie beating out both south park and pulp fiction)

It brings to mind being stuck in a shit job with no hope of getting out. Thankfully, there's some humor and hope in that you will get out...someday.

LOVE this song...Its about the jaded, bored and lost feeling you get in your late teens/early twenties where your just not sure whats going on or where you're going in life. This woulda made a great theme somg to "That 70's Show" cept its not from the 70's...hehe.
