Lyrics
We're like a John Hughes movie
We resemble characters in a John Hughes movie
We're fucked up but we still got friends
We are flawed, but we still have friends
We call cut but it never ends
We signal the end of scenes, but the issues persist
And we try and we try and we try
We make efforts and pretend, but we never recover
And pretend but we never get back, we never get back
The journey back to a positive state is elusive
Cause it's a long way back to San Francisco where you left your trends
Referencing the challenges of returning to a better state symbolized by San Francisco and lost trends
Long ago you found me
Referring to a past encounter
And I did it what I didn't
Action taken despite reservations
Why do I try when everything is good for me tonight
Questioning the effort when everything seems fine
Do you think I should go and tell myself
Contemplating self-advice
Is it sink or swim cause everything around me turns to shit
Feeling overwhelmed as things take a negative turn
Do you think I should go and tell myself
Considering self-reflection
Don't know what happened to me
Expressing confusion or change in self
I woke up with a set of friends
Waking up with unfamiliar acquaintances
I said what, they said come again
Recounting a conversation where understanding is lacking
And I try and I try and I try to fit in but I never catch on, I never catch on
Struggling to fit in despite attempts
And it's a long way back to Dallas Texas where I left my head
Emphasizing the difficulty of returning to a positive state symbolized by Dallas Texas
Long ago you found me
Recalling a distant past connection
And I did it what I didn't
Action taken despite reservations (similar to line #9)
Why do I try when everything is good for me tonight
Questioning efforts in times of contentment
Do you think I should go and tell myself
Considering self-advice (similar to line #12)
Is it sink or swim cause everything around me turns to shit
Feeling overwhelmed as negativity surrounds
Do you think I should go and tell myself
Contemplating self-reflection (similar to line #14)
You told me to find you
A directive to find someone
I told you to leave me alone
A desire for solitude
You told me to follow you
A directive to follow someone
I only wanted to go home
A conflicting desire to return home
If honestly honesty makes me a someone then goodness and falsity makes me go on And I wanted to scream, I wanted to scream
Reflecting on the complexity of being someone with honesty and falsity
I'm resting my head in the hope that I'll dream
Seeking solace in the hope of dreaming
Why do I cry
Expressing the emotion of crying
Oh why do I cry
Pondering the reasons behind tears
Why do I try when everything is good for me tonight
Questioning efforts in times of contentment (similar to line #25)
Do you think I should go and tell myself
Considering self-advice (similar to line #26)
Is it sink or swim cause everything around me turns to shit
Feeling overwhelmed as negativity surrounds (similar to line #27)
Do you think I should go and tell myself
Contemplating self-reflection (similar to line #28)
