don't quite belong (demo)

(album: Build A Problem - 2021)

I'm taking my time in the back of a room
Don't assume I'm as cold as I seem
Widen the eyes, show the teeth, holding hands
Like it's planned, how do they know what they mean?

I go up to a friend, grab his arm, what's the code?
I should know, do you struggle like me?
He says, "Finish your drink, then we'll bounce, get it down
Hit the town," I still don't know what he means

Am I
Missing something vital here?
'Cause I
Woke up feeling kind of weird

Guess I'll just pretend, play along
Till they figure it out, I don't quite belong
Oh, oh
Fake it till you make it, but I'm getting it wrong
Think I've figured it out, I don't quite belong
Mmm, mmm

Suddenly face to a face, man to man
Understand? I say yes, but I don't
It's working a charm, here take this, you'll be wired
But I'm tired, I'd rather smoke it alone

In goes the drink and the fire, and out
Comes the doubt, and the stutter, and shame
I chew over a word, but it's wrong, no, I'm fine
What's the time? I think I'm done with this game

Am I
Missing something vital here?
'Cause I
Woke up feeling kind of weird

Guess I'll just pretend, play along
Till they figure it out, I don't quite belong
Oh, oh
Fake it till you make it, but I'm getting it wrong
Think I've figured it out, I don't quite belong
Oh, oh

Ooh
Ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh

Ooh
Ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh

Am I
Missing something vital here?
'Cause I
Woke up feeling kind of weird

Guess I'll just pretend, play along
Till they figure it out, I don't quite belong
Oh, oh
Oh, fake it till you make it, but I'm getting it wrong
Think I've figured it out, I don't quite belong
