"How's it going?"
"I'm great. You?"
"Me too, wanna go sit on that couch, it's empty."
"I thought you'd never ask."

Couches; parties.

lyrics

Thanks for the invite,
not sure what I'd rather do on a Friday night.
Probably just sit at home by myself,
illuminated by a TV light.

You're all happy I showed up,
but you never seem to see me having any fun.
Maybe that's why I don't always go,
gotta blame a bad party on someone.

We're the kind of people who sit on couches at parties.
If we brought the energy down,
we're sorry.
We don't drink that much
we don't dance that much.
I offer my sincerest apologies for you inviting us.
But we were fine, yeah we had a good time
We were alright, 'cause we found a couch.

But I'm happy to go out,
at least it means it's later when I come home.
And I can sleep without the guilt,
or feeling like I'm always alone.

I'll keep my phone tight in my hand.
I'll show up but make no promises I'll be fun.
I don't wanna dance,
I don't wanna take that chance.
I just wanna sit and talk to someone.

And maybe you'll come through for me.
Maybe you'll sit down next to me.
Then we both can be

The kind of people who sit on couches at parties.
If we brought the energy down,
we're sorry.
We don't drink that much
we don't dance that much.
I offer my sincerest apologies for you inviting us.
But we were fine, yeah we had a good time
We were alright, 'cause we found a couch.
