I don't wanna fall
I write this from the corner of my mind
I'm not crazy for my words I'm just high, drunk, feeling nice
the walls holding me up while I watch everyone
some are straight and some just waisted
they cling to each other
wanting that attention they probably don't get at home from their spouse or mom dad
who the heck knows
but they look needy as they pick through the crowd
fake smiles fake corny pick up lines
no class in some at all
I see a girl sucking face with some dude I know she doesn't know
he tried his "where have you been all my life" line on me 10 minutes ago
I spilt my drink on his shoes and told him oops gotta go
she can have him anyways I'm not here alone
they are all over there dancing
I'm sitting here writing and the page looks blurry but I can make it work
I hope
my date looks bored
he thought I was fun, wild, care free
I am
just don't want him to see that side of me
not yet at least
maybe in 8 years If he can wait
I'm afraid he might fall if he sees me and I don't wanna fall either
that's why I use the wall to hold me up as I write
keeps me standing steady
I can't lose my balance
at least not yet
I think I'm too drunk I refuse to bring him home with me tonight
