The Girl Who Still Lives At Home

Something pretty bad happened to her long ago
She clams up, she lost it, she'd rather be alone
Lying on the bed with those stuffed animals back home

Her old high school friends have all moved away
When they see her now they don't know what to say
They're so different now and she is practically the same

She's the girl who still lives at home
She's left out and she's all alone
Working at the taco stand
Fighting with her mom and dad

I can see her now sitting in the living room
Thinking of all of the things that she can't do
Not as long as she is living underneath their roof

She's the girl who still lives at home
Mom and dad sent her to her room
When they saw what she had done
Now she's just a skeleton

They say she's wasting away
She just stares into space everyday

And you know she'd like to move away
Be on her own and she says it everyday
She has plans to move away
But you know she's gonna stay that way

She's talking to her mom
She needs some help in the kitchen
They're watching L.A. Law
And cable television she says

It's not so bad
You save a lot of money
And she heard what you said
But she's staring at nothing
