TSDE - I can't make small talk [quirky indie ukelele song]

Подробнее о видео

Love my friends, but fuck I feel awkward anytime I'm out with them! 😅

[Verse 1]
I showed up fifteen minutes early
Then waited outside till I was late
Practiced jokes in my head, rehearsed the laugh
Why the hell is “hi” so high-stakes?

You’re all so chill with your stories
And I’m over here playing chess
Just trying to say “that’s crazy” right
With the correct level of finesse

[Chorus]
But I can’t small talk, but i still love you all
You invite me out and I stall
But deep down, I wanna be there too
Even when my brain says, “run, dude!”
I can build Ikea with laser focus
But don’t ask me to tell a joke, cause
That’s the hardest thing to do
And it makes it awkward for me and you

[hook]
ba-da-ba, ba-da-ba, oops I made it weird again
ba-da-ba, ba-da-ba, oops I made it weird again

[Verse 2]
I like group projects, pizza nights
Movie marathons, alright alright
As long as there’s a task at hand
I can fake being a functioning man

But just sitting in a circle chat
No hiding there, just me and that
Weird thought parade in my headspace
Trying to keep a normal face

[Chorus]
But I can’t small talk, but i still love you all
And at lunch I hit a conversational wall
You ask me "how’s life?" and I panic
Like I'm taking an oral exam in Spanish
I'd rather alphabetise a bookcase
Than answer “What you been up to these days?”
That’s the hardest thing to do
And it makes it awkward for me and you

[hook]
ba-da-ba, ba-da-ba, oops I spaced again
ba-da-ba, ba-da-ba, oops I spaced again

[Bridge]
Sometimes I leave and overthink
Replay the convo, every blink
But you send memes and laugh at mine
And I remember we’re probably fine

[Chorus]
But I can’t small talk, but i still love you all
And maybe I’m not the king of Lols
But you see me and let me be
Even when I speak in anxiety
So here’s my awkward thank-you song
For every invite, every tag along
And that’s the hardest thing to do
And it makes it awkward for me and you

[hook]
ba-da-ba, ba-da-ba, thanks for being my friends
