Jonny Glenn Lyrics

I don’t wanna go home
I don't want to return to a place where I feel unhappy and lonely

Even if I’m always on my phone
Being constantly engaged with my phone doesn't make going home any more appealing

All these people I don’t even know
Surrounded by unfamiliar faces, I feel disconnected from my surroundings

But I got nowhere to go
Despite not wanting to go home, I lack an alternative destination

And you know I’m always fucking broke
Financial struggles contribute to my unwillingness to go home

It’s better than being alone
Despite its shortcomings, being surrounded by people is preferable to feeling lonely

Nights alone
My evenings are characterized by solitude

Since you don’t want me
You no longer desire my company

You said maybe I’m not cool like you thought
You implied that I am not as impressive or interesting as you initially believed

Roll out of bed
I struggle to motivate myself to start the day

Call a friend
Seeking solace, I reach out to a companion

He said are you okay it’s been like a month?
Expressing concern, my friend remarks on the prolonged period of my emotional distress

I don’t wanna go out to the west side
I have no desire to venture to the western part of town

I gotta forget about the best nights
I need to move on from the memories of the most enjoyable experiences

Talkin’ to a bunch of girls I don’t like
Engaging in conversations with unappealing individuals in an attempt to distract myself

But I try to pick ‘em up with my best lies
Despite my lack of interest, I make an effort to impress these girls with deceptive statements

She moved to LA to be famous
A woman relocated to Los Angeles with aspirations of achieving fame

Only showing up if there’s a waitlist
She only attends events or gatherings if there is an element of exclusivity or hype

All these people talkin’ bout the same shh
The conversations surrounding me revolve around superficial and uninteresting topics

Oh, we’re lonely but not lonely when we’re wasted
While we may feel isolated, our loneliness is temporarily alleviated when we consume alcohol or substances

Home isn’t home
The place I call home no longer feels comforting or familiar

Still smell you on my bedsheets
The lingering scent of you on my bedding serves as a constant reminder of our past relationship

Feels like 52 weeks alone
The duration of my loneliness feels as if it has stretched on for an immeasurable amount of time

It was never about your friends
The cause of our separation was not due to the disapproval of your friends

Who didn’t like me
Your friends' dislike of me did not contribute to our current situation

Or the drunk nights we spent fighting
Arguments that occurred while under the influence of alcohol played a part in our relationship's demise

Swear your whispers cut like lightning, uh-huh
The words you quietly uttered during our conflicts had a powerful and painful impact on me

You’re the reason I’m still out at this time
I continue to stay out late because of the unresolved emotions I have regarding you

Trying to forget about the best nights
Engaging in distractions and new experiences in an attempt to erase the memories of our most enjoyable moments together

So I’m talkin’ to a bunch of girls I don’t like
To fill the void, I participate in conversations with unappealing girls who serve as distractions

She moved to LA to be famous
Another woman pursued her dreams of fame by relocating to Los Angeles

Says she’s saving up to get a facelift
She expresses her intention to undergo a cosmetic procedure to enhance her appearance

Says she won’t be happy ‘til she makes it
She believes her happiness relies on achieving her desired level of success

Oh, we’re lonely but not lonely when we’re wasted
Although we experience feelings of loneliness, these emotions are temporarily numbed when we are intoxicated

I don’t wanna go out to the west side
I have no desire to journey to the western part of town

You’re the reason I’m still out at this time
My unresolved feelings for you are the cause of my late-night ventures

Trying to forget about the best nights
I engage in distractions and new experiences in an attempt to erase the memories of our most enjoyable moments together

I don’t wanna go home
I resist the idea of returning to an unsatisfying and lonely environment

Even if I’m always on my phone
Even though I constantly find solace in my phone, it doesn't make going home any more appealing

All these people I don’t even know
Surrounded by strangers, I feel disconnected and distant from my surroundings

But I got nowhere to go
Despite not wanting to go home, I lack an alternate place to be

And you know I’m always broke
My constant state of financial instability adds to my resistance in returning home

It’s better than being alone
Being surrounded by people, despite its shortcomings, is still preferable to feeling lonely

I don’t wanna go home (oh) x3
The repetition emphasizes my desire to avoid going home
