I'm pretty sure she said something like 'Seth you don't listen enough' I said 'yeah maybe you're right I can't help it, my mind drifts off And I'm not really here anymore but I'll try' She said 'while we're here on the subject I wanna know why you haven't grown up yet' I said 'don't be upset But I really didn't hear a fucking word that you just said'
[Hook]
They said I'm disconnected, that's cool my friends are too though Can't hear a word you're saying, we watch it all just float away I see 'em all coming my way and now they wanna take my time I could tell 'em what's on my mind or I could just float away
[Verse 2]
I am a boy in a bubble I am a boat in a bottle I would love to be here right now but I'm not I am anywhere else, I am gone They live life like there ain't no tomorrow I live life like there ain't no today All around me they beg, steal, borrow as they quarrel I just float away, I am gone Ground control to Major Tom, you can't keep being weird pal I'm a grown up, I got a beard now I got a job now, I got a roster Gots to make the boss proud He said 'when you're done cleaning glasses Make sure that you mop and the bar's swept' I said 'don't be upset But I really didn't hear a fucking word that you just said'
[Hook]
Hey yo I never really felt like I know much About being grown up I am hopeless Highschool I would hang with the stoners Yeah I guess it probably takes one to know one I still spend a lot of time on my lonesome And money's still tight can you loan some? They said I'm disconnected yeah I just might be But all my friends are just like me I told a girl I wanted to be rapper Made her laugh she told me I was a crack up We were sitting on the grass in the back yard Next day faded drinking wine from a jam jar I said 'I don't have the keys to a car yet But I got a bag of weed and a sunset' She said 'don't be upset But I really didn't hear a fucking word that you just said'
