Tom Odell – Parties Lyrics

Album on Black Friday

Lyrics From Live Performance 1, TikTok Snippet & Live Performance 2

[Verse 1]
Nice to meet ya
I’m a friend of the friend
That no one knows to greet [ya?]
I’m the only one here in casual clothes
Yeah, you’ll see me
I’m quite a bit drunker than the rest
You’ll feel me
I’ll spill a [pail?] of water down your dress

[Chorus]
I don’t know why I come to these parties anyway
Oh, the only thing that happens is
I end up embarrassing you, babe
I don’t know why I come to these parties anyway
The only thing that happens is
I end up saying shit I shouldn’t say
I don’t know why I come to these parties anyway
Hiding all my feelings
You’re the only reason that I came

[Verse 2]
Dance to the music
I pick the song that no one ever likes
[Unstoppable?]
[I spill a coloured drink all down your thigh / And our hands flip the switch that turns the light on]
So, if you need me, you’ll find me standing by the broken glass
You’ll feel me, [I / my hand] ripped part of my heart into a [?]

[Chorus]
I don’t know why I come to these parties anyway
Oh, the only thing that happens is
I end up embarrassing you, babe
I don’t know why I come to these parties anyway
The only thing that happens is
I end up saying shit I shouldn’t say
I don’t know why I come to these parties anyway
Hiding all my feelings
You’re the only reason that I came

[Instrumental Break: Piano]

[Chorus]
I don’t know why I come to these parties anyway
Oh, the only thing that happens is
I end up embarrassing you, babe
I don’t know why I come to these parties anyway
The only thing that happens is
I end up saying shit I shouldn’t say
I don’t know why I come to these parties anyway
Hiding all my feelings
You’re the only reason that I came
