Half Italian Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm sorry, man, but I'm not feelin' grand
Not even feelin' good
I'm sorry, man, but I'm not feelin' grand
Don't even think I could
I'm sorry, man, but you misunderstand
I am misunderstood
I'm sorry, man, I think I found the plans
To burn down Hollywood

[Chorus]
You are not alone, I'm emotional
Maybe too emotional, but I love you
Everybody knows you're emotional
Maybe too emotional, but I love you
You are not alone, I'm emotional
Maybe too emotional, still, I love you
Leave the kids alone, you're emotional
Maybe too emotional, but I love you

[Verse 2]
I'm sorry, man, I'm half Italian
I hope you can approve
I'm sorry, man, God darn it, gosh damn
Somebody knock on wood
I'm sorry, man, I think I broke my hand
Now I'm no fuckin' good
I'm sorry, man, now I'm irrelevant
Around my neighborhood
[Chorus]
You are not alone, I'm emotional
Maybe too emotional, but I love you
Everybody knows you're emotional
Maybe too emotional, but I love you
You are not alone, I'm emotional
Maybe too emotional, still, I love you
Leave the kids alone, you're emotional
Maybe too emotional, but I love you

[Bridge]
Uh
Yeah, right
Yeah, right
Yeah, right
Yeah, right

[Chorus]
You are not alone, I'm emotional
Maybe too emotional, but I love you
Everybody knows you're emotional
Maybe too emotional, but I love you
You are not alone, I'm emotional
Maybe too emotional, still, I love you
Leave the kids alone, you're emotional
Maybe too emotional, but I love you
[Bridge]
Da-da-da-da-da, da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da, da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da, da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da, da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da, da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da, da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da, da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da, da-da-da

[Outro]
I'm really scared
I'm just shootin' from the hip

Genius Answer

We’re all a result of where we were born, who our parents were, our upbringing, what we’re surrounded by, and you can’t control that. This is my little temper tantrum moment on the record—an exercise in apologizing for not apologizing. I came up with it on a really peaceful walk with my wife and father-in-law—I knew how the riff was going to go, I knew how the cadence of those verses was going to go—and I drifted back like a creeper into a little corner under a tree and recorded the whole idea on my phone. – Aaron Bruno
