Talking to the Dog at the Party

[Verse 1]
I used to like people
But now I'm not sure
The older I get the smaller my circle shrinks seems like the cure
I'm thinking that small talk
Is gonna kill me in the end
The obit will read 'It was a swift decline after the one millionth attempt'

[Chorus]
You can find me talking to the dog at the party
I'll be on the couch in the corner, island vacation
Anything to save me from a bad conversation
See, I can make it look like a museum
He's saying the right things
Polite and he's funny
I'd never leave sorry if I'm talking to the dog at the party

[Verse 2]
Don't wanna chat about the weather
Or your super fancy job
You'd better sweep the floor
Once more
After all the names you dropped
You were mean to the waiter
The eleventh cardinal sin
I'll step outside and fake a phone call
I'm never coming back again

[Chorus]
You can find me talking to the dog at the party
I'll be on the couch in the corner, island vacation
Anything to save me from a bad conversation
See, I can make it look a museum
He's saying the right things
Polite and he's funny
I'd never leave sorry if I'm talking to the dog at the party

[Bridge]
If that makes me a loner I will gladly wear that crown
I'd rather be a loner than feel lonely with all these people around
How miserable does that sound

[Chorus]
You can find me talking to the dog at the party
I'll be on the couch in the corner, island vacation
Anything to save me from a bad conversation
See, I can make it look like a museum
He's saying the right things
Polite and he's funny
I'd never leave sorry when I'm talking to the dog at the party
