    Story Behind the Song
    Elizabella Hallert - "I was dating an idiot, who had bricks for brains but knew how to have a good time. We didn't particularly like each other, but that didn't seem to matter. It was one of those relationships where I would complain to my friends about him, but not break it off. One day he said that he thought it would be "really cool" if I wrote a song about him and I. The lyrics came instantly and the music followed shortly thereafter. This song wrote itself. The funny, or sad part, is that he really liked it!
    I see a lot of couples like that. They have nothing to say to each other, confide in others and grow to resent the person they are supposedly in love with. This song is addressed to people who are together out of habit."

    Lyrics
    I WISH COMPLAINING WASN'T SO OUT OF STYLE
    'CAUSE I'D LIKE TO KICK BACK HERE
    AND VENT FOR A WHILE
    BUT YOU HAVE BETTER THINGS TO DO, I SUPPOSE
    AND THERE ARE OTHER THINGS YOU'D LIKE ME TO SAY SO YOU CAN RELAX 'CAUSE I KNOW HOW TO REPLY WHEN YOU SAY WHEN YOU SAY,
    HONEY HOW, HOW WAS YOUR DAY

    YOU KNOW I'M FEELING KIND OF DOWN
    BUT I WONT TELL YOU, CAUSE I KNOW BETTER
    INSTEAD I'LL CHANGE THE CONVERSATION
    HELL, I'LL TALK ABOUT THE WEATHER
    I'LL COMMENT ON YOUR CLOTHING
    AND I'LL ASK IF YOU'VE LOST WEIGHT
    DON'T WANT TO SAY SOMETHING VAST,
    YOU MIGHT HAVE TO CONTEMPLATE
    OH BUT YOU CAN RELAX
    CAUSE I'M NOT ASKING YOU FOR MORE
    I'M JUST KIND OF CURIOUSE
    AS TO WHAT WE'RE TOGETHER FOR

    INSTRUMENTAL

    OH BUT YOU CAN RELAX
    I UNDERSTAND IT'S MIGHTY CLEAR
    BUT COULD YOU DO ME A FAVOR
    AND TELL ME WHY THE HELL AM I HERE
    I UNDERSTAND IT'S JUST POLITE CONVERSATION
    ONE OF MANS MOST COMMENLY USED CREATIONS
    WELL, I GUESS THAT'S HOW WE HAVE STAYED
    TOGETHER FOR SO LONG
    AS LONG AS WE'RE POLITE,
    WE DON'T NEED TO BE STRONG
    OH SO YOU CAN RELAX
    I'D HATE TO SCREW UP YOUR DAY
    NO, JUST HAVE YOURSELF A NICE LIFE AND HONEY...I'LL BE ON MY WAY
