Staying In - Rocksteady TNT

Rocksteady TNT · Staying In

It's better at home
All alone
If you're looking for me
Best to let me be
Can't be bothered
To pick up the phone

Go to the pub and have
Your rounds of beer
Enjoy yourself
While I stay right here
Saturday night
And I'm staying in
'Cause my social energy
Is a fragile thing

Feel worn out
When I'm in a crowd
Pushed and shoved
Through all that brotherly love
Can't hear a word you say
Unless you shout

My kind of party
Is peace of mind
But it starts to waver
Around humankind
Feels so unnatural
If you ask me
But to the rest of the world
It is blasphemy

R.S.V.P.
Regretfully
I won't appear
At your wedding next year
‘Cause I'll be shopping
For my groceries

Don't take offense
Of my self-defense
I could come for a while
Plaster on a fake smile
But I would rather
Just avoid pretense

Rather save words
For the trees and birds
Out in the green
Where the world is serene
My fellowship is
On a nature reserve

The world won't understand
An introvert's plea
When I'd really rather
Just stay home and watch tv
Ain't nothing wrong with me
So don't worry
Saturday night at home's
Where I want to be
