Can it be that I'm just nervous   And you've just given up   Is it too much to ask for a little honesty here   We've been friends since we've woke up to   Cookie cutter houses grown on every lot   Property tax going up, wages not   Can it be that I'm just nervous   And you've just given up      We've got coffee on every corner   And phones with clash ringtones   Making 8 bucks and hour   Paying 800 to rent alone   The television is blinking in every room in the home   Commute getting longer   Car payments over due   Can it be that I'm just nervous   And you just do what you've got to do      We're walking dogs without leashes   Past parked cars and busy streets   Next to no trespass signs   Blocking fields of perfect green   It's the same old sinking feeling   That you don't know what it means   But you feel like something is missing   Man you sure feel incomplete   I figure I'm just getting nervous   And you're content just to leave it be      We feel no connection to our families   And our friends they're really friends   We get together on holidays   And on occasional weekends   Playing with commitments    Proving useless in the end   What's the point of always smiling    To help others finds content   You may say I'm getting nervous   I feel like I'm fucking caving in
