More Is Better

I was alone a lot

Mostly observing things

Like hyenas and migrations, and who cares?

Now I have all these friends

I'm never by myself

I mean, look at all those people downstairs

Uh-huh

More is always better

More people know my name

I have more shoes

More is always better

'Cause when you have less

You have more to lose

Wait, that's confusing

See, I don't mind alone

Sometimes alone is good

'Cause time to think is in short supply

You haven't been alone

Try Kenya with one phone

Almost no people, just, like, animals and sky

You know what I had more of?

Stars

So many stars at night

But here there's so much light

I see them less now

Plus, I'm always cold because the air-conditioned air

Though in fairness, that could be how I dress now

Whatever, I look cuter

It worked, like pretending I needed a tutor

Pretending?

Yeah, I pretended to be bad at math to get you to talk to me

Why didn't you just talk to me?

Because of Regina, because you were her property

Her property?

No, shut up, not property

Don't tell me to shut up

You are, like, a clone of Regina

No!

I am more and I am better

And no one likes you more

Not anyone, not her

More is always better

Don't look at me that way

What girl would you prefer?

I would prefer the girl you were

Not who you're trying to be

You think this works with me?

Well, you thought wrong

Looking at this place

I see you trying to erase

What is best about yourself just to belong

You say more is always better

But there is less of you than there was before

So if more is always better

Then you should have thought it through a bit more

I should have thought it through a bit

You know what I had more of?

Stars
