about
I was invited to an 80's Night themed Dance Party birthday party.
Upon arrival, everyone was standing around in their 80's costumes drinking beer but not dancing. So I danced with reckless abandon.
But as I rode my bike home that night, I reflected on the social aspects of the party and my own weird social struggles.
Why it's so hard to leave the house.
Why I'd rather stay home (or write a song, or ride my bike) than go to a party.
Why I generally try to avoid nostalgia and live in the now.
I could go on. It was a fascinating experience that spawned a lot of questions.
lyrics
You can't go back to a few years ago so keep on running or find ways of coping
Don't open your mouth cause everyone will know you got nothing unless you're at home
It's easier now, your partner by your side. Drawing together and freedom to be
Whatever you are, you've made a lovely home. A shelter from outside, no desire to leave
Why's it gotta be you feel alive with no one round?
Just the moon peeking at me behind the clouds just shining down
Writing stupid songs to help recover from the pain or being alive or trying to rewind
Adjusting to now wouldn't be painful if accepting yourself was an easier task
I hope you have found we're all in the same boat and though it is sinking you once thought to drown
Why's it gotta be you feel alive with no one round?
Just the moon peeking at me behind the clouds just shining down
Riding on my bike abandoning social events every time. Don't know why I try.
Why's it gotta be...
Just the moon peeking at me...
