Drinking Song for the Socially Anxious

Lyrics

In the back of a cab like a puppet with no strings
 Untangling my headphones
 'Cause sometimes they're the only thing
 That keeps my head in place
 Keeps my head in place
 Arriving at the door, I hope to God I'm not the first
 My heart is tearing pages
 From that funny story I rehearsed
 And I know I won't be long
 'Cause I know I don't belong
 'Cause though my jokes are my armour
 And my kindness is my sword
 The party swirls around me in a dress I can't afford
 And I do my best to breathe
 But they're stealing all the air
 And the hum from the fridge'll
 Sing me soft little vigils
 As all my steps too far keep telling me
 "This is who you are", I should go home
 I'm not lonely, just like being on my own
 And I'll sing silence
 And ask my glass of wine for guidance
 I might not make it tonight
 And I'll speak with my eyes
 You'll think I'm weird, one sympathizes
 I might not make it tonight
 Because I don't find this easy like you
 Gonna go home and show my cat some memes
 'Cause he's awesome like me
 Like me
 ♪
 Now I'm lying on a bed full of coats
 Trying desperately to cope
 When you open up the door, say something stupid like
 "You're lying on some coats", I say, I know
 Just sometimes nice to feel what it's like
 To be in someone else's coat
 Now we're bursting at the seams
 'Cause the noise is crushing us
 We think it's so much worse than it seems
 But that voice unsaid is rushing us
 And in a moment of total rapture
 With every strength I have
 I ask if you play D&D
 And your face lights up like you've woken up
 From this endless fucking nightmare
 Of pretending this is you
 This is us, this is me and this how we're meant to be
 But your smile tells me I'm safe
 And that voice unspoken's heard
 'Cause if God make us all in his image
 Then God's a fucking nerd
 And I'll sing silence
 And ask my glass of wine for guidance
 I might not make it tonight
 And I'll speak with my eyes
 You think I'm neat, I'm not surprised
 That I might not make it tonight
 Because I don't find this easy like you
 Gonna go home and dress my cat up like Batman
 'Cause he's awesome like me
 And I'll sing silence (and I don't)
 And ask my glass of wine for guidance (find this)
 I might not make it tonight (easy, like you)
 Gonna go home and tell my cat (I'm not lonely)
 I'm not lonely if I'm (I just like being on my own)
 With you
 ♪
 In the back of a cab, like two puppets with no strings
 We share a pair of headphones
 'Cause sometimes they're the only thing
 That keep our heads in place
 Keep our heads in place
 ♪
 I totally messed it up again
 Did you?
 Like three times, three, three separate places
 For fuck's sake
