Car Seat Headrest - Not What I Needed lyrics

I have nothing but questions
I need answers, those would fill me up
I know when I'm being catered to!
I know when I'm being catered to!
I will not settle for
The lowest common denominator!

Hello my friend
We’ve been waiting for you for a long time
We have reason to believe that your
Soul is just like ours
Did you ever get the feeling you
Were just a little different?
Well, here’s our web page
You’ve finally found a home

Good people give good advice
Get a job, eat an apple
It'll work it'self out
It's a phase (It's a phase)
It's chemistry (It's chemistry)
It's your own fault (It's your own fault)
Well don't listen to us
We're just people too

I’ve been waiting all my life
I’ve been waiting for some real good porn
Something with meaning something fulfilling
I’d like to make my shame count for something

I feel so empty trying to explain this
His name is William Onyeabor
He’s from the 70s
And when I wake up in the morning
There are people sleeping on my couch
Well, I’ll have something to
Say about that one

Free people give free advice
Let go of the pain, let go of the fear
But, if I let go of that
What will still be here? Will I find out
That I am just people too?

Please say that one more time?

Um, yeah, I mean, uh
The intent was to sort of go
Back to these periods and, and
Revisit them a little bit, especially
With Teens of Style you know
With Teens of Denial it was
Sort of contemporaneous when I was
Writing it you know, and what I was
Experiencing at the time and, uh
I guess I was just out of my teenage years
When I was writing things for Teens of Denial
I didn't really feel like anything had
Changed so, um, yeah I guess
You know, the two of those
Albums together are sort of
They're both an exploration of past feelings
And how they connect to
The present and what I'm doing
In the present tense

I'm sorry, you'll have to say that again
The connection must be bad um
Can you try one more time?
Ahh um, when I was starting out, I, uh
Recorded vocals in my car sometimes, uh
Just for the sake of privacy
