[Verse 1]
I talk too much when l'm nervous
I give too much away
And you might think l'm trying to fuck
But l'm really just trying to think
I don't think I deserve it
I don't think anything
I just sit down and shut up
And hope they don't notice me
[Pre-Chorus]
Mowing the lawn, just looking out through the smog
I'm already gone, you can't make this shit up

And hope they don't notice me

Mowing the lawn, just looking out through the smog
I'm already gone, you can't make this shit up
You can't make this shit up
[Chorus]
I come alive in the nighttime, when everybody else is done
I come alive, it's the right time to really start having fun
I don't know how to turn around if l'm not ready
I don't know how to tell you that your jokes aren't funny
