Learning The Ropes
Adam Marsland

Here comes a bruise

It's big and it's black and blue

Where did it come from

I got it from you

What did I do

And what was I supposed to say

And why'd I have to say it, anyway?

I get so tired coming here every weekend

Trying to figure out this game

I feel like an idiot

And I can't remember anybody's name

'Cause I'm a new man in a new town

Trying to keep up with what's going down

Starting out with inflated hopes

Learning the Ropes

I fell back in my chair

Holding a drink and my dented pride

But nobody saw, nobody cared

And nobody cried

Now I feel like I'm back in high school

Underdeveloped and overwrought

Now I'm wading back in time to find

I'm resigned to my own prison of thought

I get so tired coming here every weekend

Waiting three hours for a look

Groping for some conversation

Wish I was reading a book

I walk in the room and everybody stares

And I know just what they're looking at

But move in a little closer, nobody cares

And you wonder what are you doing here

Wonder could I just disappear?

Wonder what are you, wonder what are you,

Wonder what are you doing here?

The kind of person I am

I ought to be somewhere else

I ought to be in a better place

Be inside myself
