Bad Scene and a Basement Show by Less Than Jake Lyrics
[Verse 1: Roger Lima]
Well, the scene here, he wants her back
He's tryin' to use the phone
She's hanging up, he's giving up
He should've known
Looking lost and he wanders off
And tries to sing along
To some song he's never heard
But just keeps mouthing all the words
[Chorus: Roger Lima, Chris DeMakes, Both]
It gets worse before it's all over
I know I'll get through this somehow
It gets worse before it's all over
Nothing's gonna change her mind for now
[Verse 2: Roger Lima]
Well, the scene, here he's still alone
Another band in a crowded basement
With too much small talk
And lame inside jokes
Feeling useless, out of excuses
Should've known to let it go
She said it's done
Second chances seem to never come
[Chorus: Roger Lima, Chris DeMakes, Both]
It gets worse before it's all over
I know I'll get through this somehow
It gets worse before it's all over
Nothing's gonna change her mind for now
Change her mind for now, change her mind
[Bridge: Chris DeMakes with Roger Lima]
It gets worse before it's all over
It gets worse before it's all over
It gets worse before it's all over
Nothing's gonna change her mind for now
[Outro: Chris DeMakes]
After all the bad endings and misunderstandings
All of the late nights, last hopes, and lost time
All that she left me was only a memory
And all I can say is she don't understand me
She don't understand me, she don't understand me
She don't understand me, she don't understand me
She don't understand me, she don't understand me
Should've known all along that she don't understand me
And nothing's gonna change her mind for now
She don't understand me
And I heard him scream over the crowd
'She don't understand me!"
Well, the scene here, he wants her back
He's tryin' to use the phone
She's hanging up, he's giving up
He should've known
Looking lost and he wanders off
And tries to sing along
To some song he's never heard
But just keeps mouthing all the words
[Chorus: Roger Lima, Chris DeMakes, Both]
It gets worse before it's all over
I know I'll get through this somehow
It gets worse before it's all over
Nothing's gonna change her mind for now
[Verse 2: Roger Lima]
Well, the scene, here he's still alone
Another band in a crowded basement
With too much small talk
And lame inside jokes
Feeling useless, out of excuses
Should've known to let it go
She said it's done
Second chances seem to never come
[Chorus: Roger Lima, Chris DeMakes, Both]
It gets worse before it's all over
I know I'll get through this somehow
It gets worse before it's all over
Nothing's gonna change her mind for now
Change her mind for now, change her mind
[Bridge: Chris DeMakes with Roger Lima]
It gets worse before it's all over
It gets worse before it's all over
It gets worse before it's all over
Nothing's gonna change her mind for now
[Outro: Chris DeMakes]
After all the bad endings and misunderstandings
All of the late nights, last hopes, and lost time
All that she left me was only a memory
And all I can say is she don't understand me
She don't understand me, she don't understand me
She don't understand me, she don't understand me
She don't understand me, she don't understand me
Should've known all along that she don't understand me
And nothing's gonna change her mind for now
She don't understand me
And I heard him scream over the crowd
'She don't understand me!"
