Talking to the Dog at the Party

I used to like people
But now I'm not sure
The older I get
The smaller my circle shrinks
Seems like the cure

I'm thinking that small talk
Is gonna kill me in the end
The obit will read
It was a swift decline
After the one millionth attempt

You can find me
Talking to the dog at the party
I'll be on the couch in the corner
Island vacation
Anything to save me from a bad conversation
See I can make it look like I'm busy
He's saying the right things
Polite and he's funny
I never leave sorry
When I'm talking to the dog at the party

Don't want to chat about the weather
Or your super fancy job
You better sweep the floor, once more
After all the names you dropped

You were mean to the waiter
The 11th cardinal sin
I'll step outside to fake a phone call
I'm never coming back again

You can find me
Talking to the dog at the party
I'll be on the couch in the corner
Island vacation
Anything to save me from a bad conversation
See I can make it look like I'm busy
He's saying the right things
Polite and he's funny
I never leave sorry
When I'm talking to the dog at the party

If that makes me a loner
I will gladly wear that crown
I'd rather be a loner
Than feel lonely
With all these people around
How miserable does that sound

You can find me
Talking to the dog at the party
I'll be on the couch in the corner
Island vacation
Anything to save me from a bad conversation
See I can make it look like I'm busy
He's saying the right things
Polite and he's funny
I never leave sorry
When I'm talking to the dog at the party
