lyrics

MIKE:
I'm happy here, it sort of feels like home.
I'm happy here, I never would have known
if I never would have took the leap,
look how far I've grown.
I'm a free man of the city
and I did it on my own.

*Dialogue

Last night there was a concert in the park.
Free music to the people until dark.
Looking at the pretty women
not 'cuz I'm horny, just 'cuz it's nice.
I finally feeling like I'm winning
at the game of life
not just the board game game of life.

I'm happy here, it sort of feels like home.
I'm happy here, I never would have known
if I never would have swam this deep
into the unknown.
I am young alive and present-

*Dialogue

Yesterday made my way
to the museum of art.
I had friends by my side
and you know that we felt smart.
Looking at the naked women
not 'cuz we're horny, because it's art.
You don't understand naked women.
I don't mean to rude,
but what could pants know about being nude?
You're just a pair of pants, and I am a man!

I'm happy here, it sort of feels like home.
I'm happy here, I never would have known
if I would not have given a bleep.
Bleeps I don't condone.
Now I'm grateful and I'm thankful-

*Dialogue

See sometimes all I need is a night to myself.
That means me, just me, so me and no one else.
Surfing the web on my laptop
not 'cuz I'm horny-
(deleting history)
not 'cuz I'm horny.
It's just nice okay?!
I feel like I could fall in love here,
but if I don't then it's totally fine.
I mean I'm happy right now and it's okay that I'm
focusing on me. I feel a misconception that
selfishness is inherently bad. I feel it's an important part
of exploring and growing in your twenties and beyond.
And if I do find someone then great!

I'm happy here, it sort of feels like home.
I'm happy here, I never would have known
if I never would have took the leap
look how far I've grown.
(That's what she said)

PANTS:
No, that's what you said.

MIKE:
Sometimes I get lonely, but I wouldn't trade it back.
I'd like to renew my museum pass.

BRAD:
You're so freaking weird!
