The Party
Nat & Alex Wolff Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I was not invited to that party
I'm never invited to the parties
I will stay home and read a stupid book
Cause I would not have gone to it anyways
Hey, hey

All I want is symphony
I'm tired of the sadphony

I need you to feel sorry
For me, for me

Screaming from the group
I dont go anywhere
I stay home watch re-runs and play solitare
Like holding Caulfield from Catcher in the Rye
The superficial phonies are wild to spy
He-Hey, hey

All I want is symphony
I'm tired of the sadphony
I need you to feel sorry
For me, for me

I dont mean to bother you
But here are my complaints
Those kids try to act all nice
But I wasn't born yesterday
I dont need the smile
They think i'm obnoxious or a freak
In seventy or anarchy
Please comfort me

All I want is symphony
I'm tired of the sadphony
I need you to feel sorry
For me, for me

All I want is symphony
I'm tired of the sadphony

I need you to feel sorry
For me, for me
