Στοίχοι: Eels. Blinking Lights and Other Revelations. Things The Grandchildren Should Know.

I go to bed real early, everybody thinks it's strange
I get up early in the mornin'
No matter how disappointed I was with the day before
It feels new

I don't leave the house much
I don't like bein' around people
Makes me nervous and weird
I don't like goin' to shows, either

It's better for me to stay home
Some might think it means I hate people
But that's not quite right

I do some stupid things
But my heart's in the right place
And this I know

I got a dog, I take him for a walk
And all the people like to say, "Hello"
I'm used to starin' down at the sidewalk cracks
I'm learnin' how to say, "Hello," without too much trouble

I'm turnin' out just like my father
Though I swore I never would
Now I can say that I have love for him
I never really understood

What it must have been like for him
Livin' inside his head
I feel like he's here with me now
Even though he's dead

It's not all good and it's not all bad
Don't believe everything you read
I'm the only one who knows what it's like
So I thought I'd better tell you before I leave

So, in the end I'd like to say
That I'm a very thankful man
I tried to make the most of my situations
And enjoy what I had

I knew true love and I knew passion
And the difference between the two
And I had some regrets but if I had to do it all again
Well, it's somethin' I'd like to do
