Ain't That Unusual

(album: A Boy Named Goo - 1995)

Could you talk to me
Honestly
Cuz I never heard a word you said now
And I ain't just being mean

Cuz all we are is what we're told
And most of that's been lies
It's like a made-for-TV movie
And I just blew my line

Someday you never made it Maybe you never will
Hey, you never made it
Now, ain't that unusual?

Now I feel unknown
And it's safe that way
Are you too bored to care or too dumb to be scared, now
Now what's that supposed to mean?

I'm burned out on some empty reasons
Another waste of time
It's something that I wish I'd said
But I don't think it'd rhyme

Someday you never made it
Maybe you never will
Hey, you never made it
Now, ain't that unusual?

See I'd love to be you
At least then I'd see you
Sorry I put them words in your mouth
But you wouldn't talk to me

You're everything I want and haven't got
I'm sick of everything I'm not
Put my heavy coat on for a while
It's freezing in the corner of my mind

Someday you never made it
Maybe you never will
Hey, you never made it
Now, ain't that unusual?
