Awkward

(album: Ruin Your Party - 2018)

Hello everybody, I'm here to ruin your party

Clumsy with my words around the people I don't know
And I'll be stumbling with what to say like everywhere I go
But I promise I'm not like this all the time
Yeah, I can spit game when I'm online
When I got a keyboard I can hide behind
Put careful thought into every single word I type
But when I see you face to face
Don't know how to talk or what to say
'Cause there's no rewind button and there's no erase
You seem concerned by my lack of words
And I don't hate you, I'm just preserved

Self-conscious, social skills aren't making any progress
I might seem like an asshole
But I'm totally harmless, truthfully I'm just

Socially awkward
Not a smooth talker
But once you get to know me
I've got so much more to offer
When I'm face to face with you
Don't know what to say or do
Hard for me to play it cool
Awkward

You know how I do it when I'm feeling kinda awkward
I pour myself some liquor and I let it do the talking
I probably shouldn't do that but I guess I got some problems
Um, I'm too afraid to come up to you when I see you at a party
So I slide up in your DMs just to tell you that I saw you
Oh, no-one likes rejection
Our screens are all protection
No feelings are detected when the words are only texted

I might seem like an asshole
But I'm totally harmless, truthfully I'm just

Socially awkward
Not a smooth talker
But once you get to know me
I've got so much more to offer
When I'm face to face with you
Don't know what to say or do
Hard for me to play it cool

Socially awkward
Not a smooth talker
But once you get to know me
I've got so much more to offer
When I'm face to face with you
Don't know what to say or do
Hard for me to play it cool

Shit, okay, yeah, I'm not good at talking to people
I guess I'm not good at singing either
(Hard for me to play it cool)
