Navigating Deception and Desire: Eliza Elliott's Party Reflections
Lyrics
And now I'm lying to the party
Feeling compelled to deceive the people at the party.
Because they think I'm having fun
Others assume enjoyment, but it's not the reality.
I only came here for somebody
Attendance was for a specific person.
And I don't think they're gonna come
Uncertain if the anticipated person will arrive.
I don't know how I always get here
Consistently finding oneself in this situation.
I say I'm never gonna stay
Expressing a recurring intention to leave such events.
But when you said that you swing by
A moment when the decision to stay was made.
I knew that I was gonna cave
Anticipating giving in to the situation.
And I wish that I was thinking of someone
Desire to think about someone specific.
I wish that I was thinking of someone else
Wishing thoughts were directed elsewhere.
I wish that you would say that you were coming
Hoping for confirmation of the person's arrival.
I wish that you would say that you were coming by yourself
Desiring the person to arrive alone.
And now I'm lying to the party
Continuing the deception at the party.
I said I wasn't feeling sick
Falsely claiming wellness to others.
Pretend to listen to somebody
Acting engaged while feeling a breaking point.
Oh knowing something's gotta give
Sensing an imminent need for change or resolution.
And I wish that I was thinking of someone
Longing to have thoughts about someone else.
I wish that I was thinking of someone else
Desiring thoughts to be focused differently.
I wish that you would say that you were coming
Requesting confirmation of the person's arrival.
I wish that you would say that you were coming by yourself
Desiring the person's solo arrival.
And I wish that I was thinking of someone
Wishing thoughts were directed elsewhere.
I wish that I was thinking of someone else
Hoping for thoughts about someone specific.
I wish that you would say that you were coming
Requesting confirmation of the person's arrival.
I wish that you would say that you were coming by yourself
Desiring the person's solo arrival.
So come hold me
Seeking comfort in someone's embrace.
While I'm in this fragile state
Feeling emotionally vulnerable.
Say you know me
Desiring recognition and understanding.
Cause you know I feel this way
Confirming familiarity with personal emotions.
So come hold me
Seeking comfort in someone's embrace.
While I'm in this fragile state
Feeling emotionally vulnerable.
Say you know me
Desiring recognition and understanding.
Cause you know I feel this way
Confirming familiarity with personal emotions.
And now I'm lying to the party
Continuing the deception at the party.
Because they think I'm having fun
Others assume enjoyment, but it's not the reality.
Pretend to listen to somebody
Acting engaged while feeling a breaking point.
Oh knowing something's got to give
Sensing an imminent need for change or resolution.
