He said: "I'm not an asshole"
Something of course only an asshole would say
And I said: "I'm not stupid"
Something only someone stupid would say
The game is on but I can't see the board
And are there any rules here anymore?
[Chorus]
I wish I didn't feel the way I do
I wish I didn't feel the way I do
I wish I didn't feel the way I do
I just do
[Verse 2]
He's not afraid of drowning
He said a sinking ship's his spiritual home
"Well, shut up and start talking" I said
"You're saying things that I don't need to know"
Tell me, are you gonna be my friend?
'Cause I don't need another one of them
[Chorus]
I wish I didn't feel the way I do
I wish I didn't feel the way I do
I wish I didn't feel the way I do
I just do
[Bridge]
So throw me in the swim
Wash away the warmth
Make me cool, as in
Make me nonchalant
[Verse 3]
Maybe you'll forget me
Or maybe you'll see what a fool you've been
The thing that most upsets me
Is the truth is probably halfway in between
The game's still on, but noone's keeping score
And I don't wanna play it anymore
[Chorus]
I wish I didn't feel the way I do
I wish I didn't feel the way I do
I wish I didn't feel the way I do
I just do
[Bridge]
So throw me in the swim
Clean away the worms
I sing a little hint
As you wash me in the fount, yeah
Throw me in the swim
Scrub away the sorrow
Today I didn't win
I hope I win tomorrow
[Chorus]
I wish I didn't feel the way I do
I wish I didn't feel the way I do
I wish I didn't feel the way I do
I just do
I just do
I just do
[Outro]
I want you know it
I want you know it
I want you know it, yeah
I want you know it
I want you know it
I want you know it, yeah
I want you know it
I want you know it
I want you know it, yeah
I want you know it
I want you know it
I want you know it, yeah
[Part 2: Song For Edee]
[Verse 1]
Who is that funny man?
It's your crazy uncle Dan
He wrote a song for you
It's just a line or two
[Pre-Chorus]
The way you walk on the planet, Edee
That's all that matters, you'll see
[Chorus]
Now you've learned to walk, Edee
And then you learned to talk, Edee
And then you'll sing along, Edee
If you like the song, Edee
[Verse 2]
And soon we'll go to the zoo
Maybe the circus too
We'll build some memories worth having
You have a world to see
[Pre-Chorus]
And when you walk on the planet, Edee
You leave some smiles where you've been
[Chorus]
Just remember me, Edee
When I'm 93, Edee
Remember daddy too, Edee
He was 62, Edee
[Outro]
The way you walk on the planet, Edee
That's all that matters, you'll see
Edee
