Overstimulated

I hear it all the time: People tell me I'm an old soul
I don't like to go out, I just like to go home
When I get an invite, I'm a no-show
Tell 'em: Maybe next time, when I'd rather spend the night, I
Used to go to parties, I would wonder, What's the purpose?
Just like all the small talk don't go beyond the surface
Senses overloaded, the crowds all make me nervous
I should walk around wearing a sign that says I'm outta service

'Cause I'm overstimulated, trouble staying regulated
When I go out on the town, the lights and sounds are inundating
Battery is drained, takes a lotta effort
Heart will start to race, and shortly after that my head hurts
I'm overstimulated, trouble staying regulated
When I go out on the town, the lights and sounds are inundating
Battery is drained, takes a lot of effort
Heart will start to race, and shortly after that my head hurts

(Remember to take your receipt and your change)

I like deep talks, and I like long walks
I like the peace and quiet, avoiding chaos
I do not feel withdrawn despite the detox
My door has double bolt locks, I'm ignoring all the knocks
Sounds like I'm introverted, but frankly I'm really not
'Cause when I'm in my element, I like to talk a lot
And when I'm comfortable, I swear to God I'll share every thought
It's just I tend to malfunction when I'll be feeling distraught
So I'm selective with my energy to minimize the danger
'Cause I'm not able to handle unpredictable behaviors
One of the many reasons you won't catch me at a rager
Take a small group of friends over a room full of strangers

'Cause I'm overstimulated, trouble staying regulated
When I go out on the town, the lights and sounds are inundating
Battery is drained, takes a lotta effort
Heart will start to race, and shortly after that my head hurts
I'm overstimulated, trouble staying regulated
When I go out on the town, the lights and sounds are inundating
Battery is drained, takes a lot of effort
Heart will start to race, and shortly after that my head hurts
