through the motions Lyrics

I only go out to drive home

On those sweet suburban roads all by myself

Then I'm finally alone

With the music from my phone

Like a book that's finally made it off the shelf

I only go out to trade time

For a couple silly stories I can tell

But the conversations drag

As I hold onto my bag

And I start to wish I wasn't feeling well

I don't know what's wrong with me

Or what I'm supposed to do

Cause I go through the motions

But I never feel how I'm supposed to

And I don't like the way that I am

When I'm spending too much time with my friends

Cause I act like I'm surprised

But it's all a bunch of lies

I'm just waiting till the conversation ends

And I don't like holding their babies

I barely even like to take their calls

Cause the dialogue is bland

And the words are all pre-planned

So it's pointless even saying them at all

I don't know what's wrong with me

Or what I'm supposed to do

Cause I go through the motions

But I never feel how I'm supposed to

I don't know what's wrong with me

Or what I'm supposed to do

Cause I go through the motions

But I never feel how I'm supposed to
