Well I don't know, what I am doing here All I know, I made it through another year And I understand that sometimes your heart is a mess And I know that it sometimes might be the best if you Stop and reassess your life Stop and figure out this world as we know When there's nowhere else you can go

Honestly I can't forget Our conversation when we met You're the type of girl I'd like to talk to more It did not take me much time To see you've got a brilliant mind What would you say to going out for lunch sometime on Fowler Avenue? All I know is that I have to get it right this time Or I'm gonna regret it When you need a true friend Someone who always cares Then I'll be there for you I've got myself into a dumb situation I don't know what to do I've got myself into a dumb situation The only girl I think about is you Blah blah blah girls blah blah blah

In the aftermath of all the things You might have gone through in the past Burn the pages from your memory Lose the crutch, remove the cast Now it's time to let it go and see You have to move along so you can be what you wanna be It's a brand new day and nothing's gonna stop you You've got to live your life and do what you want to Grab your shoes and hit the road Anyone could tell you that The times are changing, times are tough Maybe they forgot to say that We're all diamonds in the rough Anyone can become anything You haven't lived your life Until you've followed your own dream It's a brand new day and nothing's gonna stop you You've got to live your life and do what you want to Grab your shoes and hit the road

His name is Nelem Naru He is a big Otaku He knows about the anime He took a trip to Gifu Right there in central Honshu And now he's moving there to stay I've known Nelem since we were just kids He's learning ocarina and maybe the violin Before he moves, he must learn to speak Japanese and start eating leek He's Nelem Naru and he can't be stopped His name is Nelem Naru He likes Hatsune Miku His favorite vocaloid for sure And when he moves to Japan He'll prove that he's her biggest fan Then sing karaoke with her I've known Nelem since we were just kids He's learning ocarina and maybe the violin Before he moves, he must learn to speak Japanese and start eating leek He's Nelem Naru and he can't be stopped

I spent so many nights wishing you were mine Listening to punk rock records, singing every line But those days have passed me by and you don't feel the same I could have been out with my friends, but I threw those nights away It's not wise to get hung up on someone who might not want you to I knew I was unrequited but I allowed myself to Keep on trying with no return But now there's a lesson to be learned Sometimes you have to move on I don't wanna think about you anymore I just wanna forget my heart bleeding on the floor There was a time when I thought someday you would fall for me I could show you how much I cared and maybe then you'd see It's not wise to get hung up on someone who might not want you to I knew I was unrequited but I allowed myself to Keep on trying with no return But now there's a lesson to be learned Sometimes you have to move on She'll never be back

Thought about my questions and wished they'd go away I knew that they brought more confusion every single day It wasn't 'til I took the time Asked around for opinions on the outside And considered the universe deeper than I had before It takes time and it takes doubt But each and everyday you'll figure more things out This life is a long and winding road But you can't give up or you'll never know If you never have questions, you'll never have answers If you bottle it up you may never go anywhere The things we wonder day and night Staring up at the starlight Beaming from millions of miles away Trying to understand this life every single day Thought about convictions and you almost threw them out Tried to understand why you'd be so devout To spending your life searching for what's right Just keep walking uphill, and never mind the height It takes time and it takes doubt But each and everyday you'll figure more things out This life is a long and winding road But you can't give up or you'll never know If you never have questions, you'll never have answers If you bottle it up you may never go anywhere The things we wonder day and night Staring up at the starlight Beaming from millions of miles away Trying to understand this life every single day

She doesn't wanna be here, but he won't listen to a word She explains her condition to him, but he acts like it's absurd She's scared of something he doesn't comprehend All that he wants is to go home and bring these problems to an end Another night and she'll be losing sleep The yellow wallpaper will leave her feeling creeped He'll be in the next room over and won't bother to diagnose These very real conditions that bother her the most He's shutting out her needs because of some arrogant belief Some sexist ideal that she should behave perfectly And he closes his eyes to the painful truth Her wallpapered room is just an isolation booth Another night and she'll be losing sleep The yellow wallpaper will leave her feeling creeped He'll be in the next room over and won't bother to diagnose These very real conditions that bother her the most She just wanted to go home She just wanted to go home She just wanted to go home Now she locks herself alone
