It's not like I don't have friends
But for the first time in my life
I know for certain
I'm nobody's first pick
Or second
Or even third
I try my hardest to get involved
To join their conversations
And it does nothing
On this train
I hear their chatter
And I'm silent
I sit alone
Not because I chose to
The girl I sat next to moved away
She's giggling with someone else now
And I can hear their conversation
This is the longest train ride of my life
