No One's Home

I'm just saying you're not at all avoiding
What you're really upset about, right?
And that's great! And even if you were avoiding it
I'd say that's great too, 'cause you're great

When problems come a-knockin'
And it seems like they are stalking
You pretend like you're not home
'Cause everything is peachy
If you're staying out of reachy
So pretend like no one's home

Oh, knock, knock
No one's home
Nope, nope
No one's home
Who's there?
Homework
Oh god, not home!
Sorry I can't answer
Just a plant, sir!
No one's home

I get it, it's like the time my fish all died
And I just pretended they were alive
Because I didn't feel like cleaning out the tank
That putrid smell was worth not having to deal with it
Ah, memories

When life gets kind of real
And you just do not feel like dealin'
That's okay 'cause no one's home
Be a shut-in, be hermit
Take your social life and burn it
And pretend that no one's home

Oh, knock, knock
On vacation
Knock, knock
Wrong location
Who's there?
Chores
No way, not home!
Sorry gone forever
Come back never
'Cause no one's home

Oh, no one's home
Go away, no one's home

This feels a little too easy
Maybe I need a dose of reality
Mom, make me feel like you unfairly favor Cole
You know that you're my special baby
Bleh
Hey, dad, let's hear how honey bees are dying
No way, sweetie, they're probably just hiding
Cole, come on, remind me how I almost killed my boyfriend
Oh, you poisoned him with nuts
Like a fatal kissing klutz
I'd say that took guts
And I wanna be you
This feels weird

Ugh, feelings?
When your feelings come a-callin'
And they're growin' and snowballin'
Let 'em know that no one's home
Just turn off all the lights
And cover all the doors with spikes
And they will know that no one's home

Oh, knock, knock
No one's home
Yell out
Go away
Put up a sign that says you're being fumigated
Bedbugs
Toxic waste
Haunted house
Caution tape
Anything to keep out real life

But if you act like no one's home
Won't you end up all alone?
No! Just move your family underground
And live off rabbits that you found
Idle heads make idle minds
So make some friends to pass the time
If folks complain about the stench
Just spray perfume, be like the French
You'll start to miss the outside world
So ask for updates from the squirrels

And that will keep you going
While the winds of change are blowing
'Till you die when no one's home
So that's why we encourage you
To live like no one's home
