Look at this West Elm showroom you got here
Marie Kondo approved veneer
If it's not white-washed it'll end up in your closet
I've been waking up here for a couple of months
Tip-toeing my way between your thoughts
Trying to translate what you're doing, from what you tell me
I can fit into your doll house
I can straighten up my tie
I can let go of what I want
I can give up my old life
And our parents will be thrilled
'Cuz they did what they're supposed to
Our resumes are flawless
Just one question I have for you
Is why when you're asleep, I'm on fire?
Why does doing what you want always go down so bitter?
Why does being who I am find you so unaware?
What you don't know makes you scared
If you don't make it, you don't care
You're stirred but never shaken
Stirred but never shaken
Stirred but never shaken
Stirred but never shaken
You're all dressed up and your hair's let down
You know what I like, you've made your rounds
Of charming up those closest to me
You've memorized all your football teams
You hang with the fellas if that's what I please
You say all my music sounds so pretty
You can camp out in my studio
You can sing the background lines
You can bite your tongue from saying
How I'm wasting all my time
And our friends will all be thrilled
Cuz we did what we're supposed to
We look happy in their photos
Just one question I have for you
Is why when you're asleep, I'm on fire?
Why does doing what you want always go down so bitter?
Why does being who I am find you so unaware?
What you don't know makes you scared
If you don't make it, you don't care
You're stirred but never shaken
Stirred but never shaken
Stirred but never shaken
Stirred but never shaken
My heart is show and tell
But my brain can go to hell
You're not interested in staying if it gets messy
So cheers your nicest glass
Pour on in your grapes of wrath
And I'll do exactly what you say
Why when you're asleep, I'm on fire?
Why does doing what you want always go down so bitter?
Why does being who I am find you so unaware?
What you don't know makes you scared
If you don't make it, you don't care
You're stirred but never shaken
Stirred but never shaken
Stirred but never shaken
Stirred but never shaken
