When I Got Here

When I got here the phones went out
And all the things I've taught myself
It didn’t seem to help me much
How come I'm still hanging here

When I got here
I was looking for a way
When I got here
I was trying to behave

The receipe, it never changes
Showing up is all I do
The places had a perfect scene
Now gimme me truth of a fiction anytime

When I got here
I was looking for a place to hide
When I got here
I was trying to lay low

This town is full of ready mates
Everything sounds like poetry
I promised to the people here
I'll be coming back next year

When I got here
Might have been a bit blasé
When I got here
I’ve been nervous all the way

When I got here
Oh when I got here
When I got here
Oh when I got here
