[Verse 1] Small talk feels like static Can't find the right words to say My brain just goes erratic Wishing I could play [Chorus] Trying to connect, it's a puzzle Different rules I don't always see Just want a friend, a gentle nuzzle Someone who gets the real me [Verse 2] Eye contact, it's a challenge Too much, or not enough, they say Social cues, a silent valence Lost in the moment, every day [Chorus] Trying to connect, it's a puzzle Different rules I don't always see Just want a friend, a gentle nuzzle Someone who gets the real me [Bridge] Maybe I try too hard Maybe I don't try enough It's a delicate card This world can be rough [Chorus] Trying to connect, it's a puzzle Different rules I don't always see Just want a friend, a gentle nuzzle Someone who gets the real me [Outro] Just the real me Hoping to be free To be me And have a friend with me
