Eye contact has never been a strength of mine
So staring at the ground, I whisper it'll all be fine
My door says come inside, take off your smile
My floor says come and lie with me a while
Let your worries bind to threads of carpet
Get as low as you feel and find comfort in the match
A spark of joy, goes dancing ‘cross the ceiling
It bewilders walls that you never seem to catch
Go outside and walk your demons
Maybe that will wear them out
Trust no one but me and I say
Being alone is not what life’s about
Go outside and get some fresh air
Find a train and just go somewhere
Seek eye contact, follow through
You already know what to do, first step is think it from your room
Hide behind an introvert identity
When I’m never really sure the label’s mine
If I like people and I don’t feel better
When over half my moments are just mine
Tell myself I like the way I’m living
Tell myself I need to be alone
The alternative will only end in failure
Safer to get by on just the feelings in my phone
Go outside and walk your demons
Maybe that will wear them out
Trust no one but me and I say
Being alone is not what life’s about
Go outside and get some fresh air
Find a train and just go somewhere
Seek eye contact, follow through
You already know what to do, first step is think it from your room
If you never leave it could stop feeling like home (ah, ah, ah)
If you never leave, you might forget how to roam (ah, ah, ah)
I can’t keep saying I need space if I lack evidence
I can’t keep saying give me time, if I want present tense
So over and over again
The stamina of my excuses reaches its end
Go outside and walk your demons
Maybe that will wear them out
Trust no one but me and I say
Being alone is not what life’s about
Go outside and get some fresh air
Find a train and just go somewhere
Seek eye contact, follow through
You already know what to do, first step is think it from your room
