Less Young But as Dumb

If you could see me now
Through some kind of telepathic tube
Just for a moment as I sit here in my room
Could you see that I haven't learned a thing?
That I'm less young but as dumb as the day that you left me?

Aw, do you receive me?
A signal, an outline, the shape of my head?
The glow of the screen that's been warming my bed?
The picture may scramble the truth that I hide
That I'm less young but as dumb as the day that you left me

Well, I've got myself some new duds
And I've made myself some rules
But don't let that deceive you, baby
I'm still the same old fool you knew

'Cause I can see you now
Though I'm not sure I can handle the sight
The arms of a stranger, the light in your eyes
That's making me wonder if I'm on your mind
See?
I'm less young but as dumb as the day that you left me
