How many times can I walk home alone in the dark down a back street?
I've seen what trouble looks like, I ought to know I don't thrive so well on safety
Making plans for a month ahead, a day a new kid's a little forward too
When it's not about love or trust, it's not about us
It's just having something to do, having something to do
But I like you
Don't you know we ain't special, not you or me
When people see us walking down the street, they don't feel no envy
Don't you know I'm not that special, never pretended to be
But I like you
But the only thing that matters is you feel right to me
My guitar's where I left it at your place
Yesterday when I still liked you
I guess now wouldn't be the time to take a break
You know it won't talk back like I do
There's a doubt in my heart that I'm not the same as you
I'm tired of getting drunk sometimes
All the liquor makes me bitter
Swear one day I'll treat you better, like I should
Don't you know we ain't special, not you or me
When people see us walking down the street, they don't feel no envy
Don't you know we ain't special, not you or me
When people see us walking down the street, they don't feel no envy
Don't you know we ain't special, never pretended to be
But the only thing that matters is you feel good to me
Probably won't make it
Never gonna make it
Don't look at them struggling
That they might take it
That they might take it


Probably won't make it
Never gonna make it
Don't you know we ain't special
Not you or me
When people see us walking down the street
They don't feel no envy
Don't you know we're not that special
Never pretended to be
But the only thing that matters is
You feel right to me
