Eels - Things The Grandchildren Should Know Lyrics
I go to bed real earlyEverybody thinks it's strangeI get up early in the morningNo matter how disappointed I was with the day beforeIt feels newI don't leave the house muchI don't like being around peopleMakes me nervous and weirdI don't like going to shows, eitherIt's better for me to stay homeSome might think it means I hate peopleBut that's not quite rightI do some stupid thingsBut my heart's in the right placeAnd this I knowI got a dog, I take him for a walkAnd all the people like to say helloI'm used to staring down at the sidewalk cracksI'm learning how to say helloWithout too much troubleI'm turning out just like my fatherThough I swore I never wouldNow I can say that I have love for himI never really understoodWhat it must have been like for himLiving inside his headI feel like he's here with me nowEven though he's deadIt's not all good, and it's not all badDon't believe everything you readI'm the only one who knows what it's likeSo I thought I'd better tell youBefore I leaveSo, in the end I'd like to sayThat I'm a very thankful manI tried to make the most of my situationsAnd enjoy what I hadI knew true love, and I knew passionAnd the difference between the twoI had some regretsBut if I had to do it all againWell, it's something I'd like to do
