lyrics

I bring a room down
Darling, ask around, ask around
Something about me just drives people out
From my job to the bar to wherever you are
I bring a room down, darling, ask around
I'm charming as hell in an interview, hon
It's a skill that I've always possessed
The bloom lasts a year on the rose then we shake hands
Agreeing that it's for the best
And I remember that party you threw in a costume
Attended by inventive friends
Nobody knew what I was supposed to be
And I couldn't wait for it to end
I bring a room down
Darling, ask around, ask around
Something about me just drives people out
From my job to the bar to wherever you are
I bring a room down, darling, ask around
Well, I've got a feeling that I've been discussed
You wanted to avoid me tonight
And it's called paranoia as long as you're wrong
But it's something else when you're right
So I'll sit with this book I'm pretending to read
I love and hate being alone
And I hear how the Summer just runs from your voice
The minute you realize it's me on the phone
I bring a room down
Darling, ask around, ask around
Something about me just drives people out
From my job to the bar to wherever you are
I bring a room down, darling, ask around
I bring a room down, darling, ask around
