Not Invited
Rediscover Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And when we show up they're gonna be so jealous
Tonight, I'm think I'm gonna make a scene of your scene
Because I'm full of apologies
And everybody at the party will still be up dancing
And you're gonna hate me
If things get any worse
If this seems better
Then girl, I wouldn't be caught dead in that dress
So, we wrote this song so you know you're not invited
'Cause the party is on and you can sit at home in silence
Don't even ask 'cause you're not coming in
Yeah, the party is on, yeah but don't get too excited
See I've got this plan to make the girls dance
And a pretty good idea how to make them drop their...
Tonight, I think I'm falling asleep in the backseat
At the party, well, that's only me
I'm dialing every single number I swear I would never dial
And you can't stop me
And if things get any worse
I would consider making all new best friends
Start a new band in a new land
Where the kids know how to dance
So, we wrote this song so you know you're not invited
'Cause the party is on and you can sit at home in silence
Don't even ask 'cause you're not coming in
Yeah, the party is on, yeah but don't get too excited
We've been drinking since we started
But I can't remember when
And god replays the memories
That we just can't forget
You're in love with loving
We're not right in our heads
We have girlfriends in cities
That we have never been
Til we come back again.. Okay.
So, we wrote this song so you know you're not invited
'Cause the party is on and you can sit at home in silence
Don't even ask 'cause you're not coming in
Yeah, the party is on, yeah but don't get too excited
We've been drinking since we started
But I can't remember when
And god replays the memories
That we just can't forget
You're in love with loving
You're not right in our heads
We have girlfriends in cities
That we have never been

Line by Line Meaning
Tonight, I suggest wearing your best dress
I recommend dressing up tonight for the party we're attending
And when we show up they're gonna be so jealous
People will feel envious when they see us arriving
Tonight, I'm think I'm gonna make a scene of your scene
Tonight, I plan to outdo your usual dramatic entrance
Because I'm full of apologies
I already know I will do something that requires apologies
And everybody at the party will still be up dancing
The party atmosphere won't be affected by any drama we might bring
And you're gonna hate me
You won't be pleased with my behavior tonight
If things get any worse
In case the situation deteriorates
I would consider making all new best friends
I might need to find new friends if our current group causes too much trouble
If this seems better
If switching friends seems like a better choice
Then girl, I wouldn't be caught dead in that dress
In that scenario, I wouldn't wear the same dress as yours even if I died
So, we wrote this song so you know you're not invited
This song is to inform you that you're not welcome at this party
'Cause the party is on and you can sit at home in silence
Stay home and don't bother trying to come since the party is already happening
Don't even ask 'cause you're not coming in
There's no point in asking to join since you don't have an invitation
Yeah, the party is on, yeah but don't get too excited
Although the party is happening, it's not something to get overly excited about
See I've got this plan to make the girls dance
I have a strategy to get the girls to dance tonight
And a pretty good idea how to make them drop their...
I also have an idea to illicit a flirty reaction from the girls
Tonight, I think I'm falling asleep in the backseat
I might not even make it through the night since I feel fatigue already
At the party, well, that's only me
There's a chance I might be the only one falling asleep at the party
I'm dialing every single number I swear I would never dial
I'm drunk and calling people I said I would never call
And you can't stop me
You have no power to prevent me from making calls
We've been drinking since we started
We've been drinking since the beginning of the night
But I can't remember when
I can't recall exactly when we started
And god replays the memories
We have blurry memories that keep replaying in our minds
That we just can't forget
We can't shake off these memories even though they are hazy
You're in love with loving
You enjoy the idea of being in love more than you do actual love
We're not right in our heads
Our thoughts and behaviors are erratic and abnormal due to alcohol
We have girlfriends in cities
We have romantic partners in various cities
That we have never been
Cities that we have never visited, but our partners reside there
