Other Side (Strings Version)

My socks are riding down my ankles

And my shirt is kinda damp

My purse fell off the handles

Now I'm using rubber bands

My only friends are smoking menthols

And it's feeling kinda cramped

'Cause I gave up all my shortfalls

Just to get them secondhand

I'm making conversation

That I give a seven out of ten

Minimal hesitation

This might be the best one yet

My wheels are turning

But I'm burning through the archives in my head

Nothing is too discerning

Give them what they already expect

And you can say we're all the same

But I know there's glass to break

I must be on the other side

I'm calling out to passers by

Teach me how to be someone

The invitee not the plus one

Don't leave me on the other side

I'm wasting TV shows

'Cause lately I can't seem to stay awake

Keep on giving me free throws

I'll keep giving them away

My entertainment comes from playing

The same 3 songs on repeat

Can't seem to get away from

Everything I said I wouldn't be

Oh Oh

And you can say it's just a phase

But I've always been this way

And I must be on the other side

I'm calling out to passers by

Teach me how to be someone

The invitee not the plus one

Don't leave me on the other side

Teach me how to be someone

The invitee not the plus one

Don't leave me on the other side

My socks are riding down my ankles

And my laces are untied

My purse fell off the handles

Now I feel undignified

My only friends are smoking menthols

But I hardly even mind

'Cause I gave up all my shortfalls
