Lyrics
I worked up my nerve just to throw out a joke
I gathered courage to share a joke
But it's not like it ever would land
The joke didn't resonate or connect
And I think my words over then I start to choke
I contemplate my words, but anxiety sets in
They never come out like I plan
Expressing myself doesn't go as planned
I look so embarrassed and get so afraid
I appear embarrassed and fearful
I never know what to say I guess
Speech becomes challenging; uncertainty prevails
I should have just stayed at home
Regretful of not staying at home
And I always regret when I don't but
Repeated regret for not staying home
I try and try to face the unknown
Attempt to confront the unknown
And I get so worried that I'll be alone
Fear of being alone creeps in
It's true I knew I should have stayed home
Acknowledging the truth that staying home was the right choice
Went out on the dock just to take a good look
Went to the dock for observation
But I fell in and scraped up my head
Fell in, experienced physical harm
Got into some poisonous things in the brook
Encountered toxic situations in life
And it eventually started to spread
Consequences began spreading
I try to go out only from time to time but
Attempts to socialize occasionally
I lose my composure and start cry
Emotional breakdown, leading to tears
I should have just stayed at home
Reflecting on the regret of not staying home
And I always regret when I don't but
Continued remorse for not choosing solitude
I try and try to face the unknown
Ongoing struggle to confront uncertainties
And I get so worried that I'll be alone
Fearful of the prospect of being alone
No it's true I knew I should have stayed home
Reiterating the truth of the missed opportunity to stay home
And I know that I always regret when I don't but
Recognition of persistent regrets
I try and try to face the unknown
Continued efforts to face the unknown
And I get so worried that I'll be alone
Anxiety about potential isolation
It's true I knew I should have stayed home
Reaffirmation of the understanding that staying home was the better choice
