nobody seems to fill the quiet
There's a notable silence that no one is filling.
they had some other expectations of my punchline

wish you'd warned me of that tough crowd

the room is full of good intentions

still thinks he's playing out his charm,

the party moved into the kitchen

while they blame me for the sad songs
