lyrics

I bet you never learned to flirt right
Fooling yourself to girls that you like
And everybody says it's gonna be fine
Everybody says whatever they like

Oh we're just like everyone we know
Far too young to be this old

I'm doing great, I'm doing fine, I'm doing terribly
I'm confident, intelligent, I'm scared of what you think of me
Crossing oceans of emotion for the notion of some dopamine
There's no lesson in depression, it's just a question of getting by

Bet you never thought you'd have friends like these
I spend my days just worrying about the bees
Let's go to France and we'll order a chinese
I guess we'll just have to guess what it all means

Oh we're just like everyone we know
Far too young to be this old

I'm doing great, I'm doing fine, I'm doing terribly
I'm confident, intelligent, I'm scared of what you think of me
Crossing oceans of emotion for the notion of some dopamine
There's no lesson in depression, it's just a question of getting by

I got lost in a bed too big
Do I dare tell you about it?
I got lost in a bed too big
Do I dare tell you about it?

I'm doing great, I'm doing fine, I'm doing terribly
I'm confident, intelligent, I'm scared of what you think of me
Crossing oceans of emotion for the notion of some dopamine
There's no lesson in depression, it's just a question of getting by
