[Verse 1]
E A
i am hanging in the bathroom
B E A
at the biggest party of the fall

i could stay right here or disappear
A B A B A B A B
and nobody'd even notice at all

i'm a creeper in a bathroom
B E A
cause my buddy kinda left me alone

but i'd rather fake pee than stand awkwardly
A B A B A B A B
and pretend to check a text on my phone
[Bridge 1]

Everything felt fine

when i was half of a pair

and through no fault of mine

there's no other half there

B E B
And I hear a drunk girl

Singing along to Whitney through the door

"I wanna dance with somebody!"

And my feelings sink
