lyrics

Ask for introductions, and I’m coming up short;
Oh Lord, save my face.
I’m content to be the person that the party ignores,
And I’ve always been that way.

I come from a long line of loners;
I’ve never been good at making friends.

It’s a pleasure to meet you;
I’m so sorry.
First impressions are hard...
Let’s start again.

A handshake, a hello, a nervous reply.
My mouth is full of marbles, and my throat has gone dry.

I’ve never been good at conversation.
I’ve always been bad at reaching out...
It’s a pleasure to meet you;
I’m so sorry.
I can’t get my foot
Out of my mouth.

I’m standing in the corner, staying out of the way
It shouldn’t be this hard to find the right thing to say
You’re looking for connection - I’m looking away…

Ask for introductions, and there’s nothing to tell.
I stammer and I stutter and I’m flustered as hell.

I’m getting so tired of overthinking…
I wish I could get out of my head!
It’s a pleasure to meet you;
I’m so sorry.
First impressions are hard…
Let’s start again.
