Shell

People around can't always tell Whether you're in or out of your shell Finding the corners, sitting alone You turn out the light and hang up the phone

You're looking at me through desert eyes That these empty conversations can't hide But you can count on me to be there When you decide it's too much to bear

So far and yet so close You think that things will only get worse

The extra mile will take forever When you think you're already there The way may seem to be far too long When you insist on traveling alone

Trusting people may not be so bad Forget the fears that you've always had Pick yourself up from down in the dirt Once in a while you are bound to get hurt

The extra mile will take forever When you think you're already there The way may seem to be far too long When you insist on traveling alone

Maybe it's time to dig yourself out of this hole Maybe it's time to burst outside of these walls

The extra mile will take forever When you think you're already there The way may seem to be far too long When you insist on traveling alone
