4 pm. 
Main Street. 
It's raining. Hard. 
I live about five blocks from work. 
There's the gas station, I could use something hot to drink. 
I wish I knew how to drive a car, 
but before you ask, 
no, I don't need a goddamn ride, no, I don't need a goddamn ride...

My uniform is soaked, 
but nobody can see through 
this plain expression that I wear.
Look into my eyes, there's nothing there! 
I can't wait to get home, 
the heat makes me feel so 
stuck to this state of mind. 
I'm fine, and before you ask,
no, I don't need a goddamn ride. 
No I don't want a goddamn ride! 
I love...

the taste of tea and rainwater, 
you don't see, I'm not the same daughter I was before you lost your mind, 

And I keep giving you my trust and I've never given up,
and you drop it again and again. 
Rooms full of cardboard drugs, I can never find the plugs!
I can never show this to my friends. 
And I don't understand! I could never understand, 
but you don't seem to try...

So before you ask, 
no, I don't need a goddamn ride! 
No, you don't have the goddamn right! 
I'll face the taste of 

tea and rainwater, 
you don't see, I'm not the same daughter I was before you lost your mind.
Tea and rainwater, 
so I hope that you get better, but I'm done wasting my time!
