I'm waiting until friends come and see me

Invited to dinner in the car what's the matter you're only staying one week with your family

You say you want to get drinks but nothing's open this late

Make a move to go skating with that drop that I felt

It got dark and it just started raining

Waiting tomorrow turning out and depressed, and spreading into the bed

When I'm walking with strangers bumping into their shoulders
Encountering strangers while walking, with physical contact leading to negative reactions.
They'll look at me and say watch where you're going

Do I look like I'm lost it isn't me that you want
Asserting that the speaker is not lost and not the one desired by others.
You're on your long way to work
