about

About this song:

Another song written back in 2015 with the expectation to be a Dropped Out song. I wrote this song in response to how I would feel when Dropped Out would play a show and people would come up to me and compliment us and ask us questions. I always worried that I came across as a dick. I have never been good at taking compliments, so I would usually just laugh awkwardly and say "thanks" but as a question. So, if you've ever talked to me and thought I was an asshole...sorry.

Story time:

The first show I ever played in Austin was in 2013 during SXSW. I had just joined the band No Holiday and we were playing downtown with the band Bear Suit Sucker Punch. As we were hanging out in the venue after all of the bands were playing, I was trying my best to be social and let the band know that I enjoyed their set. we hung out went to other bars around town and I thought was a really cool night. But in a funny flip of perspective; I was just talking to Tyler and he remembers this night as trying to talk to me and me just looking at him blankly. A direct quote from Tyler himself: "I just remember talking with you (and it's loud and I have a voice that disappears in crowds) and I asked you something and you kinda just stared at me and I thought you were too cool for me" But as some of you know, it all worked out and he and I went on to play in Dropped Out together with Andre.

lyrics

Lyrics:

please don't think that I'm being a douche
i'm not trying to be
I'm just no good at talking to people
especially when they're talking to me
I don't know why it's so hard for me
to do what normal people do every day
but I need help, i need so much help
just to make me feel ok

I'm not being too cool, i swear
I've got a bad case of social awkward
and i'm just trying to clear the air
i'm sorry if i upset you
if i give you a blank stare
i'm not being too cool, i swear

please don't think that i'm being a jerk
i'm sorry if it seems that way
i know you're asking me a simple question
but i just can't think of what to say
i don't know why it's so hard for me
to do what normal people do all the time
but i need help, i need so much help
do you believe me when i say that i....

i'm not trying to be douche
i'm not trying to be a jerk
if you give me one more chance
i'll prove to you that there's nothing i won't do
