I put sunglasses between you and I
so I can see your eyes but you cannot see mine
so you cannot read my mind
and realize how scared I am
I tried to understand the game
that everyone knows how to play
Truth is I've been trying all my life
but I never seem to get it right
It looks so cool, it looks so careless
You say whatever's in your mind and it works
but I'm constantly calculating
how to act as normal as possible
in your world
I look at you from a safe distance
like someone watching a reality show
Deep inside I wish I was part of the scene, the gang
or whatever you and your friends have going on
I tried to understand the game
that everyone knows how to play
Truth is I've been trying all my life
but I never seem to get it right
It looks so cool, it looks so careless
You say whatever's in your mind and it works
but I'm constantly calculating
how to act as normal as possible
in your world
