Extra

I open my mouth to say something

But somebody talks over me first

My line would have been wittier

My jokes would've been funnier

Shame I never let them out

In the group photos, always at the edge

Or maybe someone tall obstructs my face

When I went to greet you

You said nice to meet you

But I've been at parties at your place

Oh, I'm sick of feeling extra, extra

Oh, I wish that everyone would know my name

Oh, I wish I could feel extra, extra, extra…

Extraordinary for a change

I forever dream of doing something great

But my ideas always come too late

I'm always second-guessing

Wish I could stop obsessing

I work myself into a state

Can people please stop interrupting when I speak?

I'm not invisible and yet I feel unseen

I just said the same thing

But you weren't listening

It's not good for my self-esteem

Oh, I'm sick of feeling extra, extra

Oh, I wish that everyone would know my name

Oh, I wish I could feel extra, extra, extra…

Extraordinary for a change

I'm sick of feeling insignificant

Like what I have to say is irrelevant

And all my problems are just trivial

I need somebody here to lift me up

To make me feel like I'm the only one

To tell me that I'm doing well once in a while

Oh, I wish I could feel extra, extra, extra…

Extraordinary for a change
