[Verse 1]
Listen close
Hear the sound of voices while they come and go
What a rush!
All the people dancing and I wish I was (Mmm)
[Pre-Chorus]
But I was miles away
I was watching everything
Ooh
But that was a mistake
Oh, why did I hide away?
Ooh
[Chorus]
There was a party last night
I didn’t go 'cause I was scared
Somewhere alone in my mind
How did I know how much I cared
My dark thoughts, they keep me home (Mmm-mmh)
There was a party last night
[Verse 2]
I should go
I’m staring at the ceiling with my coffee though
What a time!
Anyone who’s anyone is there tonight
[Pre-Chorus]
But I was miles away
I was watching everything
Ooh
But that was a mistake
Oh, why did I hide away?
Ooh
[Chorus]
There was a party last night (Mmm)
I didn’t go 'cause I was scared (Mmh)
Somewhere alone my mind
Connecting dots that just weren’t there
My dark thoughts they keep me home (Mmm-mmh)
There was a party last night
[Outro]
Mmm, mmh, mmm
Mmh, mmm
Mmm, mmh, mmm
Mmh, mmm
Mmm, mmh, mmm
Mmh, mmm
Mmm, mmh, mmm
