Lyrics

[Intro]

No

No

No

[Verse 1]

Well, it's nothing, it's so normal

You just stand there, I could say so much

But I don't go there 'cause I don't want to

Well, I was thinkin' if you were lonely

Maybe we could leave here and no one would know

At least not to the point that we would think so

[Chorus]

And everyone here knows everyone here

Is thinkin' 'bout somebody else

Well, it's best if we all keep this under our heads

And I couldn't tell if anyone here was feelin' the way I do

But I'm lonely now

And I don't know how to get it back to good

[Refrain]

No

No

No

[Verse 2]

This don't mean that you own me

Well, this ain't no good, in fact, it's phony as hell

Yeah, but things worked out just like you wanted to

If you see me out, you don't know me

Try to turn your head, try and give me some room

I'll figure out just what I'm gonna do

[Chorus]

'Cause everyone here hates everyone here

For doin' just like they do

And it's best if we all keep this quiet instead

And I couldn't tell why everyone here was doin' me like they do

But I'm sorry now

And I don't know how to get it back to good

[Refrain]

No

No

No

[Bridge]

Well, everyone here is wonderin' what it's like

To be with somebody else

And everyone here's to blame

And everyone here gets caught up in the pleasure of the pain

Yeah, well, everyone here hides shades of shame

Yeah, but lookin' inside, we're the same, we're the same

And we're all grown now, yeah, but we don't know how

To get it back to good

[Refrain]

No

No

No

[Chorus]

Well, everyone here knows everyone here

Is thinkin' 'bout somebody else

And it's best if we all keep this under our heads

Yeah, our heads

Yeah, see, I couldn't tell now

If anyone here was feelin' the way I do

But it's over now

Yeah, I don't know how

Guess it's over now

And there's no gettin' back to good

[Outro]

No

No

No

No

No

No
