Screeching Weasel - Hanging Around lyrics
[Screeching Weasel - Hanging Around lyrics]
I walked around alone last night
And tried to look at people
Like I did back then
I kinda wanted just to hang out
Remind myself what it was all about again
Everything I thought I shattered
And left laying there that didn't matter
Every now and then comes back to my eyes
Moving in a new direction
I know if you're not getting better
You're getting worse
But watching everybody else
It's getting harder to remind myself
Of what I've learned
Relying on another lame religion
To validate our arrogant traditions
And any day
We're gonna wonder why we've been left behind
This girl came up to me and said
"I think my teacher used to
Go to school with you" and she was right
And if for just a second
I take off these colored glasses
I can see it might just be a waste of time
A waste of time and I don't know
Every day that passes
It gets easier to walk off
And it seems all right and every day
Another person I used to call my friend
Just disappears from sight
Now I see that I'm alone
Just like I always was from the beginning
And I think maybe that's the
Reason I'm not hanging around
I see your face and wonder where you'll be
Five years from now
And what it really means to you inside
I can't explain the reasons why
I can't sit back and bide my time
It just keeps going on and on
And on and on and on and I don't know
And I don't know and I don't know
And I don't know and I don't know
And I don't know and I don't know
And I don't know and I don't know
And I don't know
And tried to look at people
Like I did back then
I kinda wanted just to hang out
Remind myself what it was all about again
Everything I thought I shattered
And left laying there that didn't matter
Every now and then comes back to my eyes
Moving in a new direction
I know if you're not getting better
You're getting worse
But watching everybody else
It's getting harder to remind myself
Of what I've learned
Relying on another lame religion
To validate our arrogant traditions
And any day
We're gonna wonder why we've been left behind
This girl came up to me and said
"I think my teacher used to
Go to school with you" and she was right
And if for just a second
I take off these colored glasses
I can see it might just be a waste of time
A waste of time and I don't know
Every day that passes
It gets easier to walk off
And it seems all right and every day
Another person I used to call my friend
Just disappears from sight
Now I see that I'm alone
Just like I always was from the beginning
And I think maybe that's the
Reason I'm not hanging around
I see your face and wonder where you'll be
Five years from now
And what it really means to you inside
I can't explain the reasons why
I can't sit back and bide my time
It just keeps going on and on
And on and on and on and I don't know
And I don't know and I don't know
And I don't know and I don't know
And I don't know and I don't know
And I don't know and I don't know
And I don't know
