los 41

You showed up at the party
With me in my car
She was outside
Lighting a cigarette

You acted so weird
Playing with your hair and your fancy watch
So pathetic

You always say
I don’t want commitment
Maybe it’s simpler
You just don’t want it with me

I don’t know who told you
That you can kiss me
And still be friends

How hard is it to find a man in the 21st century
Who can spend the night and not freak out at breakfast
Maybe mom will fold your clothes
Until you turn 41
The 41

What a coincidence
That when she’s around you ignore me
I dance alone among the crowd
How does it feel for your life to be a sham?
A never-ending play

She goes home with you
You open the front door
I’m a fool at the window
Watching the bad actor you are

I play the fool at the window
Watching the bad actor you are

When the night is over
And you’re bored
You’ll pass by my street
Sober, regretful

What have you turned me into?
You turned 20 and you’re still a kid

How hard is it to find a man in the 21st century
Who can spend the night and not freak out at breakfast
Maybe mom will make your bed
Until you turn 41
The 41

What a coincidence
That when she’s around you ignore me
I dance alone among the crowd
How does it feel for your life to be a sham?
A never-ending play

She goes home with you
You open the front door
I’m a fool at the window
Watching the bad actor you are

You think you’re a great athlete
Even being so lazy
You lift weights a lot
But your brain, not so much

The spoiled kid
I should have known
You open your mouth and it sounds
So pretentious

I get it, it rubs off
From your dumb friends
Just a lost cause
I should have known

How hard is it to find a man in the 21st century
Who can spend the night and not freak out at breakfast
Maybe mom will fold your clothes
Until you turn 41
The 41
