I'm a little bit drunk already
When I show up to the party
I was scared if I was sober I might not show
I'll smile and wave and check my phone
Someone spills their drink down my clothes
Try to swallow my anxieties
But they hurt my teeth like cavities
And taste like stale cigarette smoke

Just give it half an hour
And I'll be hiding in the bathroom
Like I always do
This isn't any different
From the other college parties
That I've been to
And baby I know how it goes
I'll play along and I'll go home
Empty and stoned and alone
And I won't know what I did wrong

There's still a few hours until midnight
And I feel like a moth at the porch light
Circling something I want but I can't pin down
My head spinning round like the record
Playing some song I've never heard
I'll take another shot so I can have a shot
At getting it right this time round

But give it till the morning,
I'll be staring at my bedroom ceiling
Like I do every time
I fell asleep alone last night
And I'll sleep alone again
Like I do every night
You'd think I would've learned by now
That I just never learned somehow
To be like everyone else
And I'm tired of doing it wrong
I'm tired, and I'm tired of writing songs

But I wanna be the life of the party
Someone you miss when they're not in the room
And I wanna be one of those kids at the party
Who always knows the right thing to say and do
But here I am instead wasting one more summer night
And I feel like I'm drowning in music and lights
And maybe it's just the wine and weed going to my head
But maybe I'd be better off at home instead

And I can't help but wonder if I've maybe missed my chance
To be the kind of person that people wanna dance with
I shouldn't have to work so hard to feel like I'm having fun
And I can't be the only one who feels like I'm the only one
Who's never been the guest of honor even when I've been the host
But it's not even about the party, what scares me the most
Is that I've heard that life's a party,
And if I'm no good at parties
Then that means I'm not good at life
I just wanna feel like I'm still alive
I guess I should be grateful for the invite

But I wanna be the life of the party
Someone you miss when they're not in the room
And I wanna be one of those kids at the party
Who always knows the right thing to say and do
But here I am instead wasting one more summer night
And I feel like I'm drowning in music and lights
And maybe it's just the wine and weed going to my head
But I think I'd be better off at home instead
