"By 10 O’Clock I’m Done” is basically my introvert anthem. While some folks head out for a wild night, my idea of going out is a good meal, meaningful conversation, and being home in time to sit on the couch and not talk to anyone. This song is a love letter to simple joys, early bedtimes, and the people who make quiet nights feel like everything.
Lyrics
VERSE 1The Beastie Boys fought for my rightTo party through ‘til dawnBut I like coffee dates and quiet nightsBy 10 o'clock, I’m doneI’m no party animalIt’s not exciting, but it’s trueDon’t need clubs or crowds or pulsing lightsI just need me and youVERSE 2I’m crazy, but never wildJust more the simple kindGive me books and shows and long-ish walksAmericanos over wineI’m no party animalIt’s not exciting, but it’s trueDon’t need clubs or crowds or pulsing lightsI just need me and youBRIDGEWe may never dance on tabletopsOr party ‘til we dropBut we’ll always be togetherAnd that’s the only life I wantVERSE 3So here’s a toast to Friday eveAt our favorite coffee barTo laughing ‘til the tears roll inAnd singing in the carEven if we keep it simpleLife’s still beautiful and trueI don’t need wild nights to feel aliveI just need me and you
