Lyrics:

It’s hard enough to know

Where you’re really supposed to go

When you’re looking for a friendly face

Book a ticket to another place

You move your lips to speak

But they look at you like you’re a freak

It’s a struggle just to stay alive

Journals burning in a burning fire

Everyone stares, but nobody ever sees you

You go searching everywhere

But the feeling never leaves you

And you can’t always want what you get

When you’re looking for love

In a cafe on the internet

You want somewhere to hide

Where everyone can find you

You join hands with the world and say

I just want my space

Some people say the future’s past

We’re going down in an electro-blast

There are plenty other acts like you

Tube is full of them and they can see right through you

It’s a big bad world out there

Everybody looking for a GIF to share

And you’re crying out to find your friends

Turn around and they are gone again

Everyone stares, but nobody ever sees you

Try to vanish in thin air

But the feeling, it never leaves you

And you can’t always want what you get

When you’re looking for love

In a cafe on the internet

You want somewhere to hide

Where everyone can find you

You join hands with the world and say

I just want my space

And you can’t always want what you get

When you’re looking for love

In a cafe on the internet

You want somewhere to hide

Where everyone can find you

You join hands with the world and say

I just want to go where nobody knows my name

And no one notices or cares whether I came

I just want my friends altogether in one place

I just want control over the way they see my face

I just want to friend the entire human race

I just want my space

I just want my space

I just want my space

I just want my space

I just want my space
