Everybody's Dancing And I Want To Die

I had a plan at 10 years old

To try my best do as I'm told

But that don't catch the pretty peoples' eye

I didn't have the coolest hair

The newest clothes or the richest parents

So I sat alone as the pretty girls walked by

I tried my best at making jokes

Only to trip over my words and choke

So I ran back home and stayed inside my room

I swore I'd never go back alive

Shallow talk breeds shallow minds

But that was just a jealous boy's excuse

'Cause everybody's dancing and I don't feel the same

This room is full of people who barely know my name

And I don't feel like dancing on my own again

Another year without a friend

Another year when I just close my eyes and dance inside my head

With age comes insecurity

Embarrassment and tragedy,

Increasing fear of growing old lonely.

I said I'd put on my dancing shoes

But I've got two left feet and no good moves

And the pretty girls found cooler kids than me.

So I sat and waited patiently until the day I'd finally be asked,

But it never came, no, it never came!

'Cause everybody's dancing and I don't feel the same

This room is full of people who barely know my name

And I don't feel like dancing on my own again

Another year without a friend

Another year when I just close my eyes and dance inside my head

And I found it hard to take some time out of the days that I spent wishing I could be

Anyone but me

'Cause everybody's dancing and I don't feel the same

This room is full of people who barely know my name

'Cause everybody's dancing and I don't feel the same

This room is full of people who barely know my name

And I don't feel like dancing on my own again

Another year without a friend

Another year when I just close my eyes and dance inside my (head)

Another year when I just close my eyes and dance inside my head
