Everybody but me



I've been really into Lykke Li lately. I listen to her before going to bed, mostly, because these days I'm not in a music kind of mood. I'm not used to not wanting to listen to music - you see, I really WANT to want to listen to music, but when there's no music availiable that feels like a part of me right now, I just can't. I can't listen to music when I'm not, like, inside of it. Kinda sucks, not being able to really listen to music. Don't know if that makes sense. But whatever. I'm still really into this amazing girl, or woman, and this song is so sweet and pretty.

oh, I'm standing in the corner
thinking all I want to, what am I to do?
should I go home, still sober
or should I buy me another glass of wine
and forget about time?

though my jeans are too tight
don't feel like dancing
and all this light is too bright
don't feel like shining
no, this room is too small
I'd rather stand against the wall
and hope that no one sees me

when everybody's dancing
I don't want to
when everybody's toking
I don't want to
when everybody's laughing
I don't want to
everybody but me

when everybody's drinking
I don't want to
when everybody's using
I don't need more
when everybody's floating
I don't want to
everybody but me

I get the creeps from all the people in here
I can not breathe, it's too crowded in here
don't look at me, I don't wanna be seen
touched, heard, bothered by the fellas
who got a look in their eye
they wanna take me home without knowing my name
they wanna put it on, but do they not know
is that I'm not like the others

when everybody's dancing
I don't want to
when everybody's toking
I don't want to
when everybody's laughing
I don't want to
everybody but me

when everybody's drinking
I don't want to
when everybody's using
I don't need more
when everybody's floating
I don't want to
everybody but me
