Lyrics & Translation

[English]

I keep losing my socks

Where the hell do they go?

...

I bet they're finally free

Floating somewhere in the sea

...

Do they miss my feet?

I keep losing my socks

I got nothing to wear

...

I bet they're at her place

A house where I can't show my face

...

How I wanna be there

Holy moly, it's a real do-nothing day

I could change address and try another state

I could change my name, it won't do anything (anything)

Adventure is out there

(Adventure is out there)

So why am I in here?

(So why am I in here today?)

...

Think I'm losing my mind

How pathetic and tired

Think where they could be

Some hotel in Germany

Hope they're loving the ride

...

Holy moly, it's a real do-nothing day

I could change address and try another state

I could change my name, it won't do anything (anything)

Adventure is out there

(Adventure is out there)

So why am I in here?

(So why am I in here today?)

...

I bought me some new socks

...

I won't lose them, I'm sure

And someday hopefully

I'll slip away and they'll lose me

...

And I'll be seeing the world

Holy moly, it's a real do-nothing day

I could change address and try another state

I could change my name, it won't do anything (anything)

Adventure is out there

(Adventure is out there)

So why am I in here?

(So why am I in here today?)

...

Why am I in here today?

Why am I in here today?

...
