[Verse]
A clGoset coat's hung safe in quieter plDaces
The chiGcken was silent in its cooking glDazes
My tGongue was heavy and Emhiding in the back of its Dcage
[Verse]
I'm sGcavenging cabinets to make conversDation
Looking uGnder couch cushions for sophisticDation
I thGought I had taste but I dEmon't even know what tDime it is
[Chorus]
GOoh, I've got soul, I've got sBoul
But yEmou'd never know, never kCnow
If you were stGuck across the table from mDe
The terrible Gdinner gueDstG  
[Verse]
Well, GI am a middle school boy at the sDock hop
I'm cliGnging to walls to avoid any sDmall talk
GI'm only here with my hEmair combed because my mother Dmade me
[Verse]
The woGrds crossing tables were soft and eDngaging
But I Gcouldn't quite rouse myself to the occaDsion
Put a nGote on my list to learn more talkEming points about organic gaDrdening
[Chorus]
GOoh, I've got soul, I've got sBoul
But yEmou'd never know, never kCnow
If you were stGuck across the table from mDe
The terrible Gdinner gueDstG  
[Bridge]
COh, if I could oGnly undersDtand
CAll your lEmiterary refereDnces
CI'd be spinning tEmables around the rDoom
COnly I could thEmink one thing to pDrove
[Chorus]
GOoh, I've got soul, I've got Bsoul, I've got soul
But yEmou'd never know, never know, Cnever know
Stuck across the taGble from me, 'cross the tDable
I'm the terrible diGnner guest, dDinner gueGst
[Chorus]
GOoh, I've got soul, I've got sBoul
But yEmou'd never know, never kCnow
If you were stGuck across the table from mDe
The terrible Gdinner gueDstG  
[Verse]
So, quGiet, I curled on the couch with my Dblankets
After Gmaking a vow for a life's worth of Dsilence
I'm traGding my voice in for lEmand legs just like a Dmermaid
[Chorus]
GOoh, I've got soul, I've got sBoul
But yEmou'd never know, never kCnow
If you were stGuck across the table from mDe
The terrible Gdinner gueDstG

A closet coat's hung safe in quieter places

My tongue was heavy and hiding in the back of its cage

Well, I am a middle school boy at the sock hop

I'm clinging to walls to avoid any small talk

I'm only here with my hair combed because my mother made me

The words crossing tables were soft and engaging

Put a note on my list to learn more talking points about organic gardening

I'm trading my voice in for land legs just like a mermaid

If you were stuck across the table from me
