[Verse 1]
The bouncer asks you
What you're doing there
Hands full of gear on the loading dock
Filled up with beer and intrusive thoughts
"Oh, sorry, I’m in the band"

[Chorus]
In my defense
It's so easy to feel as if no one can see you
But I'll pretend
That you can still see me ’cause that makes it easy
On you, and me too
Or just you
We don't need a crowd to cheer
Or boo

[Verse 2]
You show up early
Or maybe late
Nobody's in the green room or on the stage
Someone's in the bathroom
You walk through the door and say
"Oh, sorry, I'm in the band"
("Oh, my bad")
[Chorus]
In my defense
It's so easy to feel as if
No one can see you
But I'll pretend
That you can still see me
'Cause that makes it easy
In my defense
It’s so easy to feel as if no one can see you
But I’ll pretend
That you can still see me 'cause that makes it easy
On you

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
In my defense
It’s so easy to feel as if no one can see you
But I'll pretend
That you can still see me 'cause that makes it easy
On you, and me too
Or just you
We don't need a crowd to cheer
