Things The Grandchildren Should Know Lyrics - Eels

I go to bed real early 

Everybody thinks it's strange 

I get up early in the morning 

No matter how disappointed i was 

With the day before 

It feels new 

I don't leave the house much 

I don't like being around people 

Makes me nervous and weird 

I don't like going to shows either 

It's better for me to stay home 

Some might think it means i hate people 

But that's not quite right

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

I do some stupid things 

But my heart's in the right place 

And this i know 

I got a dog 

I take him for a walk 

And all the people like to say hello 

I'm used to staring down at the sidewalk cracks 

I'm learning how to say hello 

Without too much trouble 

I'm turning out just like my father 

Though i swore i never would 

Now i can say that i have a love for him 

I never really understood 

What it must have been like for him 

Living inside his head 

I feel like he's here with me now 

Even though he's dead 

Photos 

It's not all good and it's not all bad 

Don't believe everything you read 

I'm the only one who knows what it's like 

So i though i'd better tell you 

Before i leave 

So in the end i'd like to say 

That i'm a very thankful man 

I tried to make the most of my situations 

And enjoy what i had 

I knew true love and i knew passion 

And the difference between the two 

And i had some regrets 

But if i had to do it all again 

Well, it's something i'd like to do
