What are the five worst things you've heard about me?
'Bout who I used to be, can't face myself alone
Show you the same five memes I showed you last week
I think they're funny, but you think they're kinda dumb
I try to best to fix my medication
I read your letters back, I fight an angry doll
But still, I'm stuck here, pumpin' at the station
Starin' blankly at faces as they go

But I take too long
And my card declines
I hate this
Then you tell me to

Lighten up, stop tryin' to interfere
Have some fun, they've got no time for my
Conversations, separate
I've got to get away from here
Lighten up like we should be happy now
Join our club, you'd be the man
And I'll be okay, we'll hide away
And no one's ever lost, we're the lucky ones
Here they come

Don't you just hate that moment on a late plane
A stranger wants to talk, you just wanna watch
That episode that taps into your soft brain
Brings it floodin' in, lets you be vulnerable
The truth is life is cold, it's getting colder
That doesn't mean you can't find someone
Some friend who understands it's not the failure
To seek another way far from the one they go

'Cause you're a goddamn star
And that's just who you are
Some people won't understand
So we tell them to

Lighten up, stop tryin' to interfere
Have some fun, we've got no time for their
Conversations, separate
They've got to get away from here
Lighten up like we should be happy now
Join our club, you'd be the man
And I'll be okay, we'll hide away
And no one's ever lost, we're the lucky ones
Here they come
