Lyrics
I'm unfamiliar with your ways
Although I grew up here
I feel like an alien
Everyone around me looks like they belong
But I tell you
I don't feel like I belong anywhere
Once in a while when I'm with you
Things are almost right
I only wish that I could be with you every night
I find myself laughing
At what I can't believe
I swear to you that I was smart
Somewhere that isn't here
It's ugliest to others
They've been quite polite
No one's tried to stop me
But nobody's tried to help
Nobody's tried to help
Once in a while when I'm with you
Things are almost right
I only wish that I could be with you every night
