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
