Five Thousand Friends on Facebook, But

I gotta learn how to meet people
Aside from playing shows
How long I’ve been sitting here
Only the computer knows
I’m not looking for a bride
I don’t want to be your groom
I got five thousand friends on Facebook, but
Not one of them in this room

There are folks in each apartment
Lined up along this wall
With the windows closed in winter
No one hears me if I call
That’s even more the case for London
Yamaguchi or Algiers
Five thousand friends on Facebook, but
Not one of them in here

I don’t like to drink
And I don’t like open mikes
But I’m thinking of going to one
Just to remember what it’s like
To have a conversation
That’s not all inside my head
Five thousand friends on Facebook, but
Not one of them in this bed
