“Social” is the second single and title track from Smallpools' So Social EP.

[Chorus]
I behave like I'm so social
I've seen it all before
Take me away right now
Bow out, save yourself
[Verse 1]
Someday I'll be old and out of touch
Will I miss too much?
Did I beat the rush by default
I've always cared a bit too much
Did I make the cut?
I said I'm thinking but
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm just stalling
Then I get that call and
[Chorus]
I behave like I'm so social
I've seen it all before
Take me away right now
Bow out, save yourself
From the so social
I'm sleeping on the floor
If you can hear this now
Bow out, save yourself
[Post-Chorus]
Oh you're playing for something
Oh you're playing for something more
I must be playing for something
[Verse 2]
Some days I feel colder to the touch
Who am I to judge?
Must've missed the crutch by default
My thoughts will never be enough
Can we get in touch?
I said I'm busy but
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm just stalling
Then I get that call and
[Chorus]
I behave like I'm so social
I've seen it all before
Take me away right now
Bow out, save yourself
From the so social
I'm sleeping on the floor
If you can hear this now
Bow out, save yourself
[Post-Chorus]
Oh you're playing for something
Oh you're playing for something more
I must be playing for something
[Bridge]
(Social)
(Social)
(So, so social)
[Chorus]
I behave like I'm so social
Got nothing to show for
Me standing here right now
Bow out, save yourself
From the so social
Can't fake it anymore
If you can hear this now
Bow out, save yourself
[Post-Chorus]
Oh you're playing for something
Oh you're playing for something more
I must be playing for something
