Small Conversations at Parties - Derek Pope

What do you say at a party?

When people wanna know how you started

And will you work for free on their project

Now I gotta tell them I’m charging

It’s hard to really come off as modest

Didn’t look away when you saw me

I’m trying not to treat you like an object

But I just wanna… on your body

Yeah

At least I’m finally being honest with myself

At least I’m finally being honest with myself

At least I’m finally being honest with myself

At least I’m finally being honest with myself

I think I’ll stay at the party

She ask me why I’m so guarded

My first relationship was cheated on

And I know everyone’s been cheated on

But that’s my point (Jesus Christ, Derek)

I know that’s dark it’s just a thought I wrote

I hope you get it and don’t read it wrong

Or maybe sit there and you sing along

I promise I’m still trying to

Be a, be a part of this world

Like a normal human being

And maybe say less depressing shit in our first conversation (sorry)

I just got out a situation, cut the pills that I was taking

You know withdrawal’s no vacation

Tell me it’s okay

To feel this way

We spend our days

Tryna find some place

We don’t even know exists, ah shit

There goes our fade, yeah

There goes our.

Don’t leave the party 'til it’s over

In the morning

Don’t leave the party
