Small Conversations at Parties is the fourth single released by Derek Pope in anticipation of the release of his album The Introverted Socialite.
It is based on his typical experiences of parties and being conflicted with making small meaningless conversation in such situations
[Verse 1]
What do you say at a party?
When people wanna know how you started
And will you work for free on their project
Now I gotta tell them I'm charging
It's hard to really come off as modest
Didn't look away when you saw me
I'm trying not to treat you like an object
But I just wanna... on your body
Yeah
[Chorus]
At least I'm finally being honest with myself
At least I'm finally being honest with myself
At least I'm finally being honest with myself
At least I'm finally being honest with myself
[Verse 2]
I think I'll stay at the party
She ask me why I'm so guarded
My first relationship was cheated on
And I know everyone's been cheated on
But that's my point (Jesus Christ, Derek)
I know that's dark it's just a thought I wrote
I hope you get it and don't read it wrong
Or maybe sit there and you sing along
I promise I'm still trying to
Be a, be a part of this world
Like a normal human being
And maybe say less depressing shit in our first conversation (sorry)
I just got out a situation, cut the pills that I was taking
You know withdrawal's no vacation
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
Tell me it's okay
To feel this way
We spend our days
Tryna find some place
We don't even know exists, ah shit
There goes our fade, yeah
There goes our..
[Outro]
Don't leave the party 'til it's over
In the morning
Don't leave the party
