I'll Never Understand Why

She lies awake when I stay up too late
I'm working on my signature sound
Foolin' around, makin' a rhyme,
Being obsessed and wasting some time
That's how I get it done

And I have fun
Pushing my buttons

I don't know much, so I write what I know
And I luck out every once in a while
Make a good sound, sing it in time
Get it pressed on my own dime
That's how I get it done

And I have fun
Pushing my buttons

She tosses and turns with every sound I make
Doesn't hardly get a wink
Rolling around, messing up time
Sinister sounds, overactive mind

Fooling around, makin' a rhyme
Being obsessed and wasting my time
That's how I get it done (pushing my buttons)
And I have fun
Pushing my buttons

I gave up long ago on the glory days (so long ago)
I couldn't get arrested
And I still try but I barely get by
And at least some friends think I'm alright

Fooling around, making a rhyme
Being obsessed and wasting my time
That's how I get it done

Pushing my buttons . . . and I have fun

Make a good sound, sing it in time
Getting it pressed on my own dime . . . pushing my buttons
