Wrong party
I'm at the wrong party with the wrong people this evening
I've got a sinking feeling like I left the stove on at home
I'm at the wrong party with the wrong people this evening
I can't seem to shake the feeling that I don't belong

Lose me in the narrow velvet seam of the night
Lose me in the alley in the flicker of the lights
Every second speeds up my pulse a second more
Conjures my resolve to meet you on the dance floor

When I snake my way through the writhing of the crowd
Slipping through the sweat and the madness and the loud
I expect to see a single person that I know
But I'm at the wrong party and my friends didn't show

I'm at the wrong party with the wrong people this evening
I've got a sinking feeling like I left the stove on at home
I'm at the wrong party with the wrong people this evening
I can't seem to shake the feeling that I don't belong

So somehow I lost myself
Somewhere here in the haze
And somehow I'll never find it again
Somehow I gained some wisdom
Somewhere here in the haze
And somehow I'll never find that again

Peer in from the edge of the corner of my mind
Looking for a reason I should go back inside
And of course, there it is, the ever-worsening divide
Between where I am, me, myself and I

My patience burns low like the end of a match
Tingling fingers pulling closed on the latch
Nothing here tonight really felt right at all
And as I closed the back door the air hit me like a wall

I'm at the wrong party with the wrong people this evening
I've got a sinking feeling like I left the stove on at home
I was at the wrong party with the wrong people this evening
I can't seem to shake the feeling that I don't belong

I feel the illusion slipping that drew me here
Somehow the bass phase-cancels out what I want to hear
At the end of the night when lights come on
I'll slip out the back and go down the alley headed home
