lyrics

complaining all morning about breakfast being late
and then he starts screaming cause he's told he's gotta wait
get him out so I can concentrate
they might be in love now but you see the way she's treated
the woman that he'll want one day will regret it
telling him how much she loved him so
then he won't let go

flickering by in the tv fuzz
you can see the image but then it runs
his hands are busy his eyes are stunned
he's so far behind growing up dumb

he's sitting on the couch he's playing as the dog
he's sniffing his boots but he kicks him off
he whimpers to his bed he turns the speaker up
a little glimpse of something more outside begging
a little book on the shelf that ain't worth remembering
to him the room is the world where he needs to be
who needs to be free

flickering by in the tv fuzz
you can see the image but then it runs
his hands are busy his eyes are stunned
he's so far behind growing up dumb

the birthday cake ain't here it's waiting at the store
the movie's on repeat and he's humming the score
how long's he gonna be hanging up there for
it's been 5 days and no one's heard a word
enjoying free time since his boss is too sick to work
there's been someone knocking for an hour or more
now the door's on floor
he's skipping 3 or 4
he doesn't know anymore

flickering by in the tv fuzz
you can see the image but then it runs
his hands are busy his eyes are stunned
He's shaking his head at all the thing's he's never done
his hands are busy his eyes are stunned
he's so far behind growing up dumb
