Why aren't I one of these interesting people
Who's always got something to say?
To not be contrived and to feel so alive
And to never have wasted the day
To go for long walks and have well-informed talks
In an non-confrontational way
Why aren't I one of these interesting people
And why
won't you stay?
I'm still having the same conversation
I've been having for years
I just want to read and retain information
Just face up to my fears
I look at myself and it's so plain to see
All I need is to change
Not too much, I still want to be me
Everyone looks the same
Why is my phone full of so many numbers
And why doesn't anyone call?
Maybe they think that I'm always too busy
Or maybe I've no friends at all
When I'm watching tv they're all out necking Es
And well obviously I'm appalled
Why is my phone full of so many numbers
And why
don't you call?
I'm still having the same conversation
I've been having for years
I just want to read and retain information
Just face up to my fears
I look at myself and it's so plain to see
All I need is to change
Not too much, I still want to be me
Everyone looks the same
I'm still having the same conversation
I've been having for years
I just want to read and retain information
Just face up to my fears
I look at myself and it's so plain to see
All I need is to change
Not too much, I still want to be me
Everyone looks the same
Why aren't I one of these interesting people
Who's always got something to say?
To not be contrived and to feel so alive
And to never have wasted the day
To go for long walks and have well-informed talks
In an non-confrontational way
Why aren't I one of these interesting people
And why
won't you stay?
I'm still having the same conversation
I've been having for years
I just want to read and retain information
Just face up to my fears
I look at myself and it's so plain to see
All I need is to change
Not too much, I still want to be me
Everyone looks the same
Why is my phone full of so many numbers
And why doesn't anyone call?

Everyone looks the same
