Early to the party can be interpreted as a narrative of a girl arriving early to the party, she is nervous and watching everyone as they arrive and settle in. Her love interest doesn’t pay attention to her and ignores her to be with his friends.

[Verse 1]
Early to the party, you're the first one there
Overdressed and underprepared
Standing in the kitchen, stressing out the host
Pulling teeth 'til anyone arrives
[Verse 2]
Excuse yourself and smoke a cigarette outside
There's still new faces coming up the drive
Exhale nervous greetings as they shuffle past
Can't he ever show up on time?
[Chorus]
Bird on the wall
Catch her calling all the shots
Catch her tying you in knots
Won't let you leave
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
What happened to manners? I guess he's had a few
He's talking shit, he never thinks of you
So bite your lip and watch him walk off with his friends
Leaving you all alone once again
[Chorus]
Bird on the wall
Catch her calling all the shots
Catch her tying you in knots
Won't let you leave
Bird on the wall
Catch her calling all the shots
Catch her tying you in knots
Won't let you leave
Bird on the wall
Catch her calling all the shots
Catch her tying you in knots
They won't let you leave
