Lyrics

You arrived with a practiced grin
Like the room had been waiting
I watched you work the softer side
Of every useful name
You lean in close, you lower your voice
Like that alone has value
But some of us can tell the difference
Between access and appeal
I don't need the story polished
I can hear the missing parts
You can dress it up in silver
It still lands exactly where it starts
First names only
That's how you move
Like every door was born half-open
Just to flatter you
First names only
I've seen that style
It gets you into crowded places
Not very far
You praise the host, you scan the room
You count who matters faster
A laugh on cue, a careful pause
A hand on every ladder
You call it charm, I call it work
A neat and bloodless method
You want the table, not the dinner
The picture, not the hour
And I don't raise my voice
I just stop making room
There was a time I might've let
Precision pass for depth
Now I know the cleanest gesture
Can still amount to less
So keep your perfect timing
Keep the little gold replies
I'm not impressed by borrowed glow
Or favors in disguise
First names only
That's how you move
Turning borrowed warmth to currency
Like no one sees it through
First names only
Go on, make your rounds
I was never hard to notice
I'm just harder now
No scene, no fight
Just the end of being useful
