[Jasper]- Nobody Talking To Me (Lyrical Visualizer)

[Verse 1] At lunch, they’re trading stories by the vending machine I know the names, I know the jokes, I know what they mean I think of something useful, then I question every word By the time I find a way in, they’ve moved on to something else I type, “How’s your week been going?” then delete it line by line Leave the little message box and tell myself it’s fine On the bus, I sit beside them, nod along and pass the time They know I’m there, they ask me things, I give them shortened replies [Pre-Chorus] It isn’t that I don’t want to be included I just hear ten versions of what I could have said [Chorus] I didn’t stop wanting people around me I just got used to nobody talking to me I can sit with all their stories, let the afternoon go by And not treat every quiet minute like a problem I should hide I still think about reaching out sometimes Still wonder if they’d like to hear from me I didn’t stop wanting people around me I just learned I’m okay when nobody’s talking to me [Verse 2] After class, they make a plan beside my chair I smile when someone looks my way, then say I’m free if they still care Someone asks about my weekend, I say, “Nothing much, just stayed in” Leave out the part about the album that I played until the end I get home and wash a coffee cup, put my shoes beside the mat Scroll through names I haven’t called and don’t know how to fix that The day was not a bad one, it just never left my head So I make some tea, read twenty pages, and go quietly to bed [Pre-Chorus] For a while I thought somebody would notice Then I stopped making that their job instead [Chorus] I didn’t stop wanting people around me I just got used to nobody talking to me I can sit with all their stories, let the afternoon go by And not treat every quiet minute like a problem I should hide I still think about reaching out sometimes Still wonder if they’d like to hear from me I didn’t stop wanting people around me I just learned I’m okay when nobody’s talking to me [Bridge] I found a few things that don’t need an audience A cheap guitar, a recipe, a walk to buy some fruit I like the way my thoughts arrive when no one needs an answer I like not having to explain what I am doing If someone calls, I’ll probably answer If they ask me out, I might say yes I’m not waiting to be rescued from my own company I’m only learning what it is [Final Chorus] I didn’t stop wanting people around me I just got used to nobody talking to me I can sit with all their stories, let the afternoon go by And let a quiet minute be exactly what it is tonight I still think about reaching out sometimes Still save a thought I might send eventually I didn’t stop wanting people around me I just learned I’m okay when nobody’s talking to me [Outro] Tomorrow I’ll sit with them at lunch Maybe I’ll say the thing I meant Or maybe I’ll listen, drink my coffee And go home content #jasper #ALittleOutOfPlace #symphyra
