I see a girl at the party
She's just sitting there alone
Staring into nothing
So I feel the intense urge to go up
And ask her
"Are you okay?"
To which she responds
"Yeah, this is just me"
I go back
And start dancing again
Waving my hands the way everyone else does
But I know it's not me
I dance alone
In the shower, in my bedroom or in my backyard in the rain
While listening to old music
And genuinely smiling
