Lyrics:
Hey!
Hey!
Spreading rumors in the hallways, like telephone,
Watered down with white noise, overblown,
Are they ever gonna just leave us alone?
Take a look at all the white coats in the room,
Staring at us sideways, like we’re Benny and Joon,
Yeah we saw that movie, too.

We know what they don’t know, o-o-o-o-o-oh,
We see what they can’t see, o-o-o-o-o-oh.
They say we’re crazy
I say well maybe that’s true,
But we know who we are now,
Just leave us alone. Hey!
Just leave us alone. Hey!

When I met you from the voices in my head,
It felt like a reaction from all the meds.
Now I don’t feel that depressed.
Well now they got me strapped down in the chair,
But as long as you’re beside me, babe, I don’t care.
Well I guess it’s been a really fucked-up year.

No, No, we know what they don’t know, o-o-o-o-o-oh,

We see what they can’t see, o-o-o-o-o-oh.
They say we’re crazy
Okay, well maybe that’s true,
But we know who we are now, in spite of all the flaws,
In spite of all the poison, chemicals and all.
We know who we are now, we know who we are now.
just leave us alone. Hey!
Just leave us alone. Hey!

Take a look at all the white coats in the room,
Staring at us sideways, like we’re Benny and Joon,

We know what they don’t know, o-o-o-o-o-oh,
We see what they can’t see, o-o-o-o-o-oh.
They say we’re crazy
Okay, well maybe that’s true,
But we know who we are now,
Just leave us alone. Hey!
Just leave us alone. Hey!
Just leave us alone, just leave us alone, just leave us alone.

Yeah we saw that movie, too.

Why is William so underrated? It honestly angers me that he seriously doesn't get the attention he deserves. He's so talented.

[emogirl]

He's such a sweetheart :3 I'm glad I got the chance to meet him

[valeriarojas]

I just miss so much the old William Beckett :c

[skwarlogirlcfc]

just heard of this dude and already I think I have a new fav. singer

[errinward]

William Eugene Beckett you need to keep your eyes on the road

[ethanlaymon]

People are going to hate this because its not what they're used to from William. But I like it. :)

[prosecutie]

I can't even handle how precious this is.

[luis_lamf]

Bro seriously u are like one of the best musician ever im so proud of u #FanNumberOne

[s.kimber]

Anything Mr William Beckett does, I just love!

[noellica]

Yes, he's saying 'they're staring at us sideways, ' or giving them that look that says, "you're insane, " They're looking at us like we're crazy, like the lovers, Sam and Joon, from the movie, Benny and Joon. They even reenacted some of the parts from the movie, like the sailing through the air with a broom on a wheeled piece of furniture. X3 Soooo

I'm addicted to this song. So happy I stumbled upon this amazing artist. Cant wait to see him next week in Pittsburgh!!!!

[jumavipe]

he is cute :D
but i miss the academy is... style

[mercedesmarie]

He's like that in person too. I met him at Warped Tour and he was really kind of awkward and didn't say much. I think he might have social anxiety or something. He's super nice though. And amazing live!

[victhirteen]

Love love love it! Will there, pretty please, be a making of?

[jeremyzapatamusic]

"The lack of creative input from his former bandmates is very apparent, " Well, he's a solo artist after all. Don't like it? don't comment. This was an awesome video. Awesome song. Can't wait for the album!

[BaineCovers]

so much love for william as a person and an artist <3 undoubtedly one of the kindest dudes in the music industry; i've been lucky enough to meet him and even talk to him on a few different occasions, and he's simply the best-- a truly genuine person through and through. i am /so/ glad he is getting to do his own solo stuff. this man deserves so much exposure, and i hope more people can discover his new quirky, poppy, catchy sound! this song is simply adorable and so is the video!

[venessaharris]

Bringing back the leg bandana! #oldschoolTAI

[KaraMckinley]

He's mine!!! Love the video and song!!

People need to realize that William is on solo career now, and it's natural to his music to change a little. Anyway, William is wonderful and everything he does is amazing.

[megpower]

Saw him play this live last night <3 he was amazing!
