Lyrics
I put ketchup on my scrambled eggs
I have unconventional habits, like putting ketchup on my scrambled eggs.
And everybody thinks it's funny
Others find my habits amusing.
I don't get mad
I don't get upset about people's opinions on my unconventional choices.
I don't laugh cause you don't shave your legs
Contrasting with the previous line, I don't judge or criticize others for their choices.
But everybody thinks it's funny
People find it amusing that I don't care about certain societal expectations.
No need to get mad
I remain calm and don't let minor things bother me.
I don't spend my time with anyone
I choose to spend time with people who appreciate and value me.
Who doesn't think I'm wonderful
My company is reserved for those who see me positively.
Or somewhat cash refundable at times
Emphasizing the importance of genuine connections over material benefits.
Now I'm out here counting airplanes
I am currently reflecting on life, using the metaphor of counting airplanes.
Trying to make sense of the change
Trying to understand and navigate through life's changes and challenges.
And I don't want to be just anybody
Expressing a desire not to conform to societal expectations.
So don't try to figure me out
Asking others not to judge or analyze me.
I won't try to figure you out
Reciprocal statement, acknowledging the complexity of individuals.
I don't want to be some average anybody
Reiterating the desire to be unique and not conform to societal norms.
Now I got friends that ride into the storm
Describing friends who face challenges without gaining tangible rewards.
And ride out of the storm with nothing
Highlighting the resilience of these friends despite facing difficulties.
They rode into the storm with
Referring to the specific circumstances of facing challenges.
And there seems to be a price for everything
Life has a cost associated with every experience.
You get what you pay for then you pay for
Emphasizing the principle of getting what you pay for in life.
What you already thought you bought before
Reflecting on the cyclical nature of life's lessons.
When you're up between the new sky line
Describing a high vantage point between the skyline, city lights, and sunshine.
The city lights and the warm sunshine
Depicting a scenic but precarious situation.
It's a long way down
Highlighting the potential danger and distance of a fall from such heights.
When you can count on one hand what you love
Expressing the scarcity of genuine loves in life.
And can count on who you love to help you on your long way down
Stressing the importance of relying on true love during challenging times.
You end up counting airplanes
Reiterating the act of counting airplanes as a metaphor for navigating life's changes.
Trying to keep up with these changes
Continuing to grapple with and adapt to life's dynamic nature.
I don't want to be with anybody else
Expressing a commitment to a specific person and not desiring others.
So don't try to figure me out
Repeating the plea not to analyze or understand the speaker.
I won't try to figure you out
Reaffirming the complexity of individuals and relationships.
I don't want to be some average anybody
Restating the rejection of conforming to societal expectations.
