[Intro]
I'm on the west coast, swinging by your [neighbour?]
Haven't left my room yet, I'm still in my bath robe
Hard to let go, momma says I'm special
Think I'm 'bout to lose it, burnin' all my french toast
Ooh-la-la, I'm alive, no matter how hard I try
Tell me why

[Verse 1]
I get nervous, every word I think about
I'm just tryna let it out
I'm an asshole, mm-mm, mm
At least that's what people say
I don't mean them anyway
No, they don't care about me

[Pre-Chorus]
I try to run but the drink keeps closing in
Can't reach my brain, it's blowing in the wind
Sure must be nice, can you tell me how it's been?
She's stuck on stuck with me
Might be the best start

[Chorus]
I'm on thе west coast, swinging by your [neighbour?]
Haven't lеft my room yet, I'm still in my bath robe
Hard to let go, momma says I'm special
Think I'm 'bout to lose it, burnin' all my french toast
Ooh-la-la, I'm alive, no matter how hard I try
Tell me why

[Verse 2]
You deserve it, all the pain coming your way
Only got yourself to blame
How's the burning, by the time that you figured it out?
Now there's no one around

[Pre-Chorus]
I try to run (I try to) but the truth keeps closing in
Can't reach my brain, it's blowing in the wind (It's blowing in the wind)
Sure must be nice, can you tell me how it's been?
She's stuck on stuck with me
Might be the best start
[Chorus]
I'm on the west coast, swinging by your [neighbour?]
Haven't left my room yet, I'm still in my bath robe
Hard to let go, momma says I'm special
Think I'm 'bout to lose it, burnin' all my french toast
Ooh-la-la, I'm alive, no matter how hard I try
Tell me why

[Outro]
Ooh-la-la, I'm alive, no matter how hard I try
Tell me why
