Reminds me of being 15 on a hot hot hot Florida summer and feeling like the only person in the world.

THE RIGHT VERSION

Was it all misled?
you asked me for the phone
I tried to take control

Oh, I don't see it that way
I don't see it that way

Oh, we shared some ideas
All obsessed with fame
Says we're all the same

Oh, I don't see it that way
I don't see it that way

Raised in Carolina
"I'm not like that"
Trying to remind her
When we go back

I missed the last bus, I'll take the next train
I'd drive but you see, it's hard to explain
I say the right thing, but act the wrong way
I like it right here, but I cannot stay
I'll watch some TV; forget what I'm told
Well, I am too young, and they are too old
The joke is on you, this place is a zoo
"You're right it's true"

As if he can't decide
I shake my head to say
Everything's just great

Oh, I just can't remember
I just can't remember

Raised in Carolina, she says:

I say the right thing but act the wrong way
I like it right here but I cannot stay
I'll watch some TV; forget what I'm told
Well, I am too young, and they are too old
Oh, man, can't you see I'm nervous, so please
Pretend to be nice, so I can be mean
I missed the last bus, we take the next train
I'd drive but you see, it's hard to explain
