It’s not gonna end any different tonight If you spend it pinned to the wall But we're live and it'd be social suicide And someone's always quicker on the draw No second take if you forget your lines If you do say anything at all But if you’re waiting on the stars to align Then you’re fighting for a lost cause Well at least I can say that I went out last night And so everyone can stop worrying about me Having fun with your friends like you’re all supposed to The drink’s overpriced and it’s too loud to talk to The people around on the light-up floor Know I’ll never be one of them anyway Good thing there are ways to drown my denial To build myself up and fall flat on my face Should I lower my expectations? Am I coming on too strong? Can they smell the desperation on me? I feel the panic coming on It’s not about getting off with the nearest stranger Or about me finding my future bride I just wanna feel normal in this place for once here For something worthwhile to come out of tonight Have a problem with breaking character When they say “his arms and legs are thin” It feels like the end of everything I've heard voices die when I get to speak Crickets chirping and tumbleweed I guess it’s how I’ll always be Can’t grow into or out of this No I'm not Prince Hamlet it wasn't meant to be I'm someone with even less sense of agency A supporting player glad to be of use Get the odd line, start a scene or two Right now you smile and stand so tall But you’ll find a way to screw up soon Yeah I’m the joke that you’re laughing at And you’re the guise I see straight through Should I lower my expectations? Am I coming on too strong? Can they smell the desperation on me? Am I doing everything wrong? It’s not about getting off with the nearest stranger Or about me finding my future bride I just wanna feel normal in this place for once here To walk home not feel dead inside Never liked smoke and mirrors and flashing bright lights It’s why they always go for some other guy Trying to lose myself and live for once Do what everyone else my age is doing right Should I lower my expectations? Am I coming on too strong? Can they smell the desperation on me? Am I doing everything wrong? It’s not about getting off with the nearest stranger Or about me finding my future bride I just wanna feel normal in this place for once here For something worthwhile to come out of tonight No I don’t feel anything for her now And it would’ve never happened anyway So it looks like you’re stuck with me a bit longer Well I’ll try my best to start over again

I guess I think too much I plan too far ahead Play all potential outcomes Replay with all the things I wish I’d said No that’s not what I meant Nothing ever goes too plan They say I’ve got too much time on my hands So just listen to me crash and burn Die in an awkward silence I never learn There is nothing I can’t get wrong Whenever anyone’s looking my way My pulse just raises for no reason It’s always been the case And I know if the moment comes It'll probably only come once But it’s just another thing to overcome Whenever there’s something on my tongue I’m all panic buys and meals for one I’m a paranoid mess It feels like I’ve got the whole world Breathing down my neck They say don’t try so hard And be more self-assured But I’m faking it More than I was before There is nothing I can get right I bet they're making an example out of me Why do I draw a blank? Is this how I'm meant to be? And I know if the moment comes It'll probably only come once But it’s just another thing to overcome Whenever there’s something on my tongue I can see her face again And I know how this will end I can her face again And who knows when it will end I can see her face again And I know how this will end I can her face again And who knows when it will end
