Andy Shauf - Early to the Party

Early to the party You're the first one there Overdressed and underprepared Standing in the kitchen Stressing out the host Pulling teeth 'til anyone arrives Excuse yourself and smoke a cigarette outside There's three new faces coming up the drive Exhale nervous greetings as they shuffle past Can't he ever show up on time? Bird on the wall Catch her calling all the shots Catch her tying you in knots Won't let you leave What happened to manners I guess he's had a few He's talking shit He never thinks of you So bite your lip and watch him walk off with his friends Leaving you all alone once again Bird on the wall Catch her calling all the shots Catch her tying you in knots Won't let you leave Bird on the wall Catch her calling all the shots Catch her tying you in knots Never lets you leave
