Here
Alex G & Shaun Reynolds Lyrics

I'm sorry if I seem uninterested
I apologize if I appear disinterested

Or I'm not listening, or I'm indifferent
I might not be attentive or receptive

Truly I ain't got no business here
Honestly I have no good reason to be here

But since my friends are here
But since my companions are here

I just came to kick it
I came to hang out

But really I would rather be at home all by myself
But to be honest, I prefer being alone at home

Not in this room with people who don't even care about my well being
Not in this location with folks who don't prioritize my welfare

I don't dance, don't ask
I don't dance, so don't tempt me

I don't need a boyfriend
I don't need a significant other

So you can go back, please enjoy your party
So please resume your party and enjoy yourself

I'll be here
I'll stay here

Somewhere in the corner under clouds of marijuana
Somewhere in a corner engulfed in cannabis smoke

With this boy who's hollerin' and I can hardly hear
With this lad who's shouting and I can hardly hear

Over this music I don't listen to
Over this music that I don't enjoy

And I don't wanna get with you
And I don't want to be involved with you

So tell my friends that I'll be over here
So please inform my friends that I'll be here

Oh oh oh here, oh oh oh here
Here, yes here

Oh oh oh I asked myself, 'What am I doin' here?'
I pondered, 'What's my purpose being here?'

And I can't wait 'til we can break up out of here
And I look forward to when we're freed from this place

Excuse me if I seem a little unimpressed with this
Forgive me if I don't seem too impressed by all this

An antisocial pessimist
A person who doesn't like socializing and has a negative outlook

But usually I don't mess with this
But usually I don't prefer this

And I know you mean only the best and your intentions aren't to bother me
And I realize you have good intentions and don't mean to distract me

But honestly I'd rather be somewhere with my people
But honestly, I'd rather be somewhere with my kindred spirits

We can kick it and just listen to some music with a message
We can spend time together and listen to meaningful music

(Like we usually do)
(As we usually do)

And we'll discuss our big dreams, how we plan to take over the planet
And we'll share our ambitious aspirations, talking about conquering the world

So pardon my manners
So I apologize for my rudeness

I hope you'll understand that I'll be here
I hope you'll comprehend that I'll remain here

Not there in the kitchen with the girl who's always gossipin' about her friends
Not over there in the kitchen where that lady always talks behind her friends' backs

Oh tell them I'll be here
Please let them know that I'll be here

Right next to the boy who's throwin' up ′cause he can't take what's in his cup no more
Next to that guy who's vomiting because he can't handle his drink anymore

Oh God why am I here?
Oh God, why am I present here?

Hours later congregatin' next to the refrigerator
Hours later, coming together beside the refrigerator

Some girl's talkin' 'bout a hater, she ain't got none
Some girl's talking about a person who dislikes her, but she doesn't have anyone like that

How did it ever come to this?
How did we end up like this?

I should've never come to this
I should have never agreed to come here

So holla at me, I'll be in the car when you're done
So when you're through with this, let me know and I'll be in the car

I'm stand-offish, don't want what you're offerin'
I'm being aloof, I'm not interested in what you're trying to provide

And I'm done talkin', awfully sad it had to be that way
And I'm finished conversing, it's regrettable that it ended this way

So tell my people when they're ready that I'm ready
So inform my friends that I'm prepared when they are

And I'm standin' by the TV with my beanie low
And I'm standing next to the TV, wearing my knit cap low

Yo, I'll be over here
Hey, I'll stay here

(Oh oh, oh oh)
(Oh oh, oh oh)
