It’s hard to say you’re lonely
When there’s so much company
When isolation is so in vogue
And it’s all inevitability
As we flock to the cities
‘Cause there’s no work back home
Because irony loves company
Overcrowded even though we’re alone
Turn up the jams and stick your head in the trees
So no one ever notices me
And still I can’t decide
Do I love me?
And if I ever seem involved
I swear it’s not one of my tricks
It’s one of my illusions
So I should get my head out of my ass
And get that ass into a car
Because I’m probably unneeded
I’m not a part of their company
Less crowded as I leave them alone
Turn up the jams and stick your head in the trees
Now I’m afraid they’ve noticed me
I shut the door too loud
Do I love me?
Because irony loves company
Overcrowded even though we’re alone
We turn up the jams and stick our heads in the trees
I wonder if I even notice me
If I met me
Would I love me?
