Normal People Fucked Up

I see guys at night drinking in bars
Talking to girls and driving cars
They heard about this place from a magazine
One of their best friends has been
They all laugh and joke like there’s nothing wrong
Like they are right where they belong

She met a guy, they went on a date
She liked him, but it was getting late
He called again, but she let it ring
She needs a little more time to think
She reads the paper on the train
A guy stares the entire way

He got a job right out of school
His place is small, but it has a pool
It’s just a couple of stops away
He feels a sadness that he can’t explain
It’s hard for him to have fun
His mother died when he was young

Yesterday I had a life (I had a life)
I had a home (I had a home)
I wore a smile (I wore a smile)
To sell my soul (to sell my soul)
My tie was blue (my tie was blue)
And my shirt was white (my shirt was white)
So why can’t I figure out
How to feel alright?
I know this could be mine again
If you would just tell me what I need to change
