[Verse 1]
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 f****** 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 f****** 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 f****** word that you just said'
