Eels lyrics : "Things The Grandchildren Should Know"

I go to bed real early
Everybody thinks it's strange
I get up early in the morning

No matter how disappointed i was
With the day before
It feels new


I don't leave the house much
I don't like being around people

Makes me nervous and weird
I don't like going to shows either
It's better for me to stay home

Some might think it means i hate people
But that's not quite right


I do some stupid things
But my heart's in the right place
And this i know


I got a dog
I take him for a walk

And all the people like to say hello
I'm used to staring down at the sidewalk cracks
I'm learning how to say hello

Without too much trouble

I'm turning out just like my father

Though i swore i never would
Now i can say that i have a love for him
I never really understood

What it must have been like for him
Living inside his head


I feel like he's here with me now
Even though he's dead


It's not all good and it's not all bad
Don't believe everything you read
I'm the only one who knows what it's like

So i though i'd better tell you
Before i leave


So in the end i'd like to say
That i'm a very thankful man
I tried to make the most of my situations

And enjoy what i had
I knew true love and i knew passion
And the difference between the two

And i had some regrets
But if i had to do it all again
Well, it's something i'd like to do
