lyrics

you wanted to be
you wanted to be right
you wanted to be alone again

not two or three or any more
everyone is such a bore
how do they find the energy
to fake the smiles and make small talk
they pass the time you watch the clock
waiting until its acceptable to leave

I can relate
I was never one to seek the spotlight
I can relate
I quite enjoy a quiet space
I can relate
dim conversation is a buzz kill
I can relate

you wanted to be
you wanted to be unseen
you wanted to hide away again

not two or three or any more
everyone is such a bore
how do they find the energy
to fake the smiles and make small talk
they pass the time you watch the clock
waiting until its acceptable to leave

I can relate
I was never one to seek the spotlight
I can relate
I quite enjoy a quiet space
I can relate
dim conversation is a buzz kill
I can relate
