Excuse me, I’d like to introduce me
Explain me, the best that I can
I make lists, I like crossing lines off the list
A line marked out means I’m closer to complete
Don’t like things, I only buy what I am needing
I rarely buy gifts for anyone for anything
I’m quite quiet on the rare out nights
My mouth tightens up
I don’t like small words with people
Who are dressed up
I’m always cold, my blood strolls through me slow
Leaving limbs to fend for themselves
my head hurts sometimes, don’t know why it hurts
but when it does, It’s the only time I take a drug
I have a brother, who’s been drunk for twelve years
He’s blacked out too much to clean up
My father, we don’t talk, when he calls I hang up
My other brother’s got a baby who I’ve seen once
I’m not even sure where he lives
It’s hard for people to get close to me
When I’m so distant
Excuse me, I’d like to introduce me
Explain me, explain me
Oh, I bought a house and I live with my love
She left her city to be with me
I’m gone all the time
And she is thinking pretty hard about leaving me
These are the actual lyrics, sent to me by Joel:
