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
