Bubble in this Town
The sun is up and the sky is blue
It’s a beautiful day and I’m thinking of you, uh huh
Calling from a bubble in this town
The breeze is warm and I wish you were here
In a way I’m not either, but I’ve nothing to fear, uh huh
Calling from a bubble in this town
Playing it safe, that’s what I like to do
It beats the pain it takes to build new connections
Reaching out this way, they say I’ve got no clue
But think of this, I never risk rejection
Mmm, mmm
It may not be right, but still
My introverted self wins the game
So here I’m calling you
Tell me what to say, and I will
I’m not wanting to be so all alone
So here I’m calling you
Looking down any street
You got all these people who will never meet, uh huh
Way too many bubbles in this town
We’re slamming into poles, falling into holes
Tripping over sidewalks, losing our souls, uh huh.
There’s a little trouble in this town
Though I know real soon, I’ll be leaving Cancun
Returning to skies always gray
Where I’ll show off to my friends, how the sunset never ends
In a picture paradise by the bay
Chorus
It’s a nifty little bar under tropical trees
All our heads bowed down to our topical feeds, uh huh
Drinking up the trouble in this town
It could be our age, or the new age norm
Or the 4K camera in a foldable form, uh huh
Calling from this bubble, don’t you sense a little trouble in this town
