Lyrics Kate Miller-Heidke

Kate Miller-Heidke

Shoebox

Afraid of the neighbours out in the hall

I'm worried they'll hear us come through the wall

Down in the car park, out in the street

Out in the real world people are mean

I live in a shoebox, I live in a cell

And hearing my small talk

It's easy to tell that I don't belong here

Just 'cause it works for you doesn't mean it works for me

I can't fall in love with every single idiot I see

I saw you with Harry out on the town

Did you ignore me, or the other way round?

Yell over the music

Can't find a seat

Pushing past me

Step on my feet

And this is a shoebox

This is a cell

Feels like my skin belongs to somebody else

But I smile and suck it in

Just 'cause it works for you doesn't mean it works for me

I can't fall in love with every single idiot I see

When I see I've had enough

And the seas are getting rough

I just need time

Til everything is back to normal

And everything is as it should be

If everything is less than you hoped for

Everything's okay by me
