It all began without warning

On a strange winter's morning

The sky turned red

The vibrations went dead

With these terrible songs on a rainy day

The pressure just started to fall

Your scene doesn't do anything for me

It doesn't do anything at all

Is the music gone?

Is it gone for good?

Its only six metal strings

On a piece of wood

And all these things goin' on in my head

Make it kinda hard to deal

Like seaweed swingin' in the ocean blue

For me, it's gotta be real

I don't care anymore

People tell me I should

They're all lookin' for hits

I'd rather lay on the hood

Of an old car

With my girlfriend

And my real friends

Until the end

I'll take you on a trip inside my soul

There you'll see the part that somebody stole

Now can you see this picture that I'm painting for you?

It's of you that your not used to

But you refuse to, don't you?

You're thinking too hard

You can't think too hard

Well, I don't care anymore

People tell me I should

They're all lookin' for hits

I'd rather lay on the hood

Of an old car

With my girlfriend

And my real friends

Until the end

It all began without warning

On a strange winter's morning

The sky turned red

The vibrations went dead

With these terrible songs on a rainy day

The pressure just started to fall

Your scene doesn't do anything for me

It doesn't do anything at all

Well, I don't care anymore

People tell me I should

They're all lookin' for hits

I'd rather lay on the hood

Of an old car

With my girlfriend

And my real friends

Until the end

With these terrible songs on a rainy day (With my girlfriend)

The pressure just started to fall (And my real friends)

Your scene doesn't do anything for me (Until the end)

It doesn't do anything at all (With my girlfriend)

Can you see this picture that I'm paintin' for you? (And my real friends)

It's of you that your not used to (Until the end)

But you refuse to, don't you? You're thinking too hard (With my girlfriend)

You can't think too hard (And my real friends)

And all these things goin' on in my head (Until the end)

Make it so hard to deal (Until the end)

Like seaweed swingin' in the ocean blue (Until the end)

For me, it's gotta be real (Until the end)
