I wrote this when I was 18 and it captures my social life at that time. Quite non-existent.
Wanting the invite to the party but knowing that i’ll be in bed by 9pm.
The hook is a moment of realisation - It’s not me… Gee (maybe it is me) OH! (oh it definitely is my EGO).
I was inspired by Sugar Honey Iced Tea by Kellis and wanted to do my own word play.
The hook “It’s not mE, Gee… Oh!” spelling out EGO without actually saying it, furthering my inability to acknowledge that my decisions were ego driven.
I wanted to experiment with the sound in the bridge, using some Neptunes-esque drums and some spacey nintendo-esque synths.

Lyrics
If I’ve got nothing
Then I’ve got nothing to lose
So I just sit here
Lock me up in my room
Wear nothing crazy
Other than untied shoes
It’s not me…
OH

I love to talk to strangers
No pressure or expectations
If I see someone that I know all about
I run the other way before they can ask me out

And I know
If I go
Then I’ll have a good time
What the fuck?
I’m eighteen.
Home alone drinking wine
I need to do something social that’s not online

If I’ve got nothing
Then I’ve got nothing to lose
So I just sit here
Lock me up in my room
Wear nothing crazy
Other than untied shoes
Ooo
Ooo
I wanna invite for tonight
But I’ll be tucking in by 9
It’s not me… gee… OH!

Said I can’t come I’m busy
But did you know I’m really
Busy overthinking every single conversation I’ve ever had!
AGHHH

And I know
If I go
Then I’ll have a good time
What the fuck?
I’m eighteen.
Home alone drinking wine
I need to do something social that’s not online

If I’ve got nothing
Then I’ve got nothing to lose
So I just sit here
Lock me up in my room
Wear nothing crazy
Other than untied shoes
Ooo
Ooo
I wanna invite for tonight
But I’ll be tucking in by 9
It’s not me… gee… OH!
Not my ego

Not my ego
EGO
Not my ego
EGO
Not my ego
EGO
Not my ego

If I’ve got nothing
Then I’ve got nothing to lose
So I just sit here
Lock me up in my room
Wear nothing crazy
Other than untied shoes
Ooo
Ooo
I wanna invite for tonight
But I’ll be tucking in by 9
It’s not…me
It’s so not my ego!
