Everybody’s Dancing and I Want to Die

[Verse 1] I had a plan at ten years old To try my best, do as I'm told But that don't catch the pretty people's 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 with shallow minds But that was just a jealous boy's excuse [Chorus] 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 where I just close my eyes and dance inside my head [Verse 2] With age comes insecurity Embarrassment and tragedy Increasing fear of growing old lonely I said I put on my dancing shoes But I've got two left feet and no good moves 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) [Chorus] 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 where I just close my eyes and dance inside my head [Bridge] And I found it hard to take some time out of The days that I spent wishing I could be Anyone but me (Woah-oh-oh) [Chorus] 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 where I just close my eyes and dance inside my head Another year where I just close my eyes and dance inside my head
