There, There Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You're just trying to read
But I'm always standing in your light
You're just trying to sleep
But I always wake you up to apologize
[Chorus]
I'm sorry I don't laugh at the right times
[Verse 2]
I know how it seems
When I always sing to myself in public
I babble on like a mad man
I know how it seems
When I'm always staring off into nothing
I'm lost in my head again
[Chorus]
I'm sorry I don't laugh at the right times
Is this what it feels like?
[Verse 3]
I've got my heart strung up on clothing line
Through tenement windows, in mid-July
I've got my heart strung up on clothing line
Through tenement windows
You're just trying to read
But I'm always standing in your light
You're just trying to sleep
But I always wake you up to apologize
[Chorus]
I'm sorry I don't laugh at the right times
[Verse 2]
I know how it seems
When I always sing to myself in public
I babble on like a mad man
I know how it seems
When I'm always staring off into nothing
I'm lost in my head again
[Chorus]
I'm sorry I don't laugh at the right times
Is this what it feels like?
[Verse 3]
I've got my heart strung up on clothing line
Through tenement windows, in mid-July
I've got my heart strung up on clothing line
Through tenement windows
[Chorus]
I'm sorry I don't laugh at the right times
Is this what it feels like, with my wings clipped?
I'm awkward, and nervous
I'm awkward and nervous
I'm sorry I don't laugh at the right times
Is this what it feels like, with my wings clipped?
I'm awkward, and nervous
I'm awkward and nervous
