  • Deep breath, big smile
    It's been a while
    Since I've been in a crowd like this
    Stay off the wall
    Don't think, just talk
    Pray no one says the name I miss

    I'm drunk here in the bathroom line
    I'm checking my phone just one more time
    'Case you hit me with an un-goodbye
    And I'll fix myself up in the mirror
    And walk out with a shitty beer
    Even though they see me here

    I'm not at this party, I'm back in your back seat
    You're pulling it over, you just had to have me
    I can't hear this music 'cause I'm hearing you yell
    You're so in love with me but right now, you need to work on yourself, mmm

    I'm not at this party
    I'm not at this party

    And I'm good (I'm good), I'm great (I'm great)
    Don't say (don't say) your name (your name)
    Just talk about the weather instead (la, la, la)
    Just stay (don't stay), don't leave (don't leave)
    So they (so they) can't see (can't see)
    We're steamin' up the glass in my head

    I'm not at this party, I'm back in your back seat
    You're pulling it over, you just had to have me
    I can't hear this music 'cause I'm hearing you yell
    You're so in love with me but right now, you need to work on yourself, mmm

    I'm not at this party
    I'm not at this party

    I'm drunk here in the bathroom line
    I'm checking my phone just one more time
    'Case you hit me with an un-goodbye
    I know you won't but I'll fix myself up in the mirror
    And walk out with a shitty beer
    Even though they see me here

    I'm not at this party, I'm back in your back seat
    You're pulling it over, you just had to have me
    I can't hear this music 'cause I'm hearing you yell
    You're so in love with me but right now, you need to work on yourself, mmm

    I'm not at this party
    I'm not at this party
