[Verse 1]
I can still remember me and Miss November Rain
Beautiful and strange
Always so inclined, coloring outside the lines
Yeah, you were never on time

In the first verse, the narrator reminisces about a past relationship with Miss November Rain, describing it as both beautiful and strange.

However, the relationship was marked by Miss November Rain's perpetual tardiness, emphasizing a sense of imbalance and unpredictability.

[Verse 2]
Unpack all your baggage, hide it in the attic, where
You hope it disappears
This all seems so familiar, but it doesn't feel like home
It's just another unknown

THE COMPLETE LYRICS

[Verse 1]

I can still remember me and Miss November Rain

Beautiful and strange

Always so inclined, coloring outside the lines

Yeah, you were never on time

[Pre-Chorus]

You've always been slightly awkward, kind of weird

Upside down and not all here

What's wrong with me and you is crystal clear

[Chorus]

Sometimes I'm in a room where I don't belong

And the house is on fire and there's no alarm

And the walls are melting too

How 'bout you?

I've never been the favorite, thought I'd seen it all

'Til I got my invitation to the lunatic ball

And my friends are comin' too

How 'bout you?

Don't worry, it's all just a symptom of being human

[Verse 2]

Unpack all your baggage, hide it in the attic, where

You hope it disappears

This all seems so familiar, but it doesn't feel like home

It's just another unknown

[Pre-Chorus]

You've always been slightly awkward, kind of weird

Upside down and not all here

Right or wrong, it's all so crystal clear

[Chorus]

Sometimes I'm in a room where I don't belong

And the house is on fire and there's no alarm

And the walls are melting too

How 'bout you?

I've never been the favorite, thought I'd seen it all

'Til I got my invitation to the lunatic ball

And my friends are comin' too

How 'bout you?

Don't worry, it's all just a symptom of being human

{Bridge}

We're all just passin' through

Passengers on a ship of fools

We're all just passin' through

Passengers on a ship of fools

[Chorus]

Sometimes I'm in a room where I don't belong

And the house is on fire and there's no alarm

And the walls are melting too

How 'bout you?

I've never been the favorite, thought I'd seen it all

'Til I got my invitation to the lunatic ball

And my friends are comin' too

On a ship of fools

Don't worry, it's all just a symptom of being human
