Story Behind The Song
I was at an open-mic night, people watching, and I noticed how some people effortlessly mingled and interacted with other people while others stayed more in the background and observed, like they were trying to learn how to behave.
Song Description
This is a song from the point of view of someone with social anxiety questioning how some people make social interactions look very easy, and contrasting that with their own experience of finding it difficult and wanting to stay isolated.

Lyrics
I wanna know
Is it easy for you?
I wanna know
Is it easy to do?
You say it's nothing special
I say can't be too careful
Somewhere out there
Is a better view
Somewhere out there
For a happy few
I wanna know
How to know what to do
I wanna know
If you already knew
For me it's complicated
Safe here, isolated
Somewhere out there
Is a better view
Somewhere out there
For a happy few
Somewhere out there
Is a better view
Somewhere out there
For a happy few
