The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Last night I smoked a cigarette
My dad would have been so upset
Then we got tattoos by the coast
And I just stood there like a ghost
Maybe I'm an old soul trapped in a young body
Maybe you don’t really want me there at your birthday party
I'll be there in the corner, thinking right over
Every single word of the conversation we just had
So why am I like this?
Why am I like this?
Why am I like this?
Why am I?
Why am I like this?
Why am I like this?
Why am I like this?
Why am I?
Why am I like this?
Why am I like this?
Why am I like this?
Why am I?
Why am I like this?
I saw a girl crying on the train
Gin and tonic from a can to ease the pain
And I never asked if she was okay
She just got up and walked away
Oh, it's like I’m looking down from the ceiling above
Never in the moment, never giving enough
Let's go out and shout the words we never said
I got my mistakes on loop inside my head
Inside my head
So why am I like this?
Why am I like this?
Why am I like this?
Why am I?
Why am I like this?
Why am I like this?
Why am I like this?
Why am I?
Why am I like this?
Why am I like this?
Why am I like this?
Why am I?
Why am I like this?
Oh, maybe I'm an old soul trapped in a young body
Maybe you don't really want me there at your birthday party
I'll be there in the corner, thinking right over
Every single word of the conversation we just had
