[Verse 1]
I said yes a week ago
Felt brave, felt bold—don’t know why though
Now the day is creeping in
Like a cloud that blocks my oxygen

I picked an outfit, tried it on
But I’m still staring at my phone
They’ll be people, there’ll be noise
They might… expect me to use my voice

[Pre-Chorus]
I rehearsed a smile, a “Hey, how’ve you been?”
But my soul just wants to cave in

[Chorus]
Can I just not go?
Can I ghost my own plans tonight?
It's not you, it's the overstimulation
And my need for silent validation
Can I just not go?
It’s not fear, it’s strategic retreat
I love y’all—from six feet
And behind a locked door

[Verse 2]
Shower’s running, I pretend
That I’m gonna rally in the end
But my bed's a siren song
And I’ve been tired since ‘02—so long

[Pre-Chorus]
I wrote a text, deleted it
Because “Sorry, can’t” just doesn’t transmit

[Chorus]
Can I just not go?
Can I skip the small talk minefield?
It’s not rude, I swear, it’s survival
Social stamina’s not that reliable
Can I just not go?
Tell them I got... abducted by fate
Or a headache I exaggerated
I’ll RSVP to the next… decade

[Bridge]
It’s not that I don’t care
It’s just that I… care very quietly
In another room
With headphones on
And no pants

[Final Chorus]
Can I just not go?
Can I please flake without the shame?
You have my love—just not in person
Not tonight, or maybe in this version
Can I just not go?
Let me be the ghost of your party
Waving silently from my futon
With snacks and dignity

Can I Just Not Go?
