Today I didn't leave the house
But a friend came by for a visit
Oh, why is it?
I called my mom
I called my dad
I listened to some new records
Anna had
Oh, why is it?
I hear your voice in every room
But there's no one there
There's no one whom
I'd like to know but you
Why is it?
That I can tell
That you see the world the way
I do and I might as well
Stay around to see
If you can tell
You're the one I wanna see
And selfishly
I need to know
If you wanna
See me
Today I didn't leave the house
Though the weather was rather exquisite
Oh, why is it?
I paid the phone bill
I sent the rent
I made a dent in Crime and Punishment
But I still wanna know
Why is it?
I signed some 25-cent checks
I forged my neighbor's name
For the guy from
FedEx
But then I went back to bed
Why is it?
That I can tell
That you see the world the way
I do and I might as well
Stay around to see
If you can tell
You're the one I wanna see
And selfishly
I need to know
If you wanna
See me
