Track 11 on self-titled debut album

lyrics

I remember when I was young
Man, it still sounds dumb
I was scared

Of putting myself out there
Take a risk you dare
But I won’t

Crowd gathers to hear my song
Here it comes my poem
Ready go!

But I’m reaching the chords too slow
Now my mind’s been towed
And I’m gone

But if a small bit of luster
Is about all you can muster
Then you’re done!

Don’t go outside again
Stay home, stay home
It’s so cozy in this den
Stay home, stay home
Don’t go outside, outside again

I would travel through rain and snow
Just to reach my show
No one’s there

Or open up for some half-baked clowns
Booed from town to town
Way to go

But I’ll just keep doing my thing
And it’s bound to sting
But I’m a smile

Cause I’m seeing a face out there
An empathetic stare
Good as gold

But if a small bit of luster
Is about all you can muster
Then you’re done!

Don’t go outside again
Stay home, stay home
It’s so cozy in this den
Stay home, stay home
Don’t go outside, outside again

Afraid of your own shadow
Spine is soft and hollow
Afraid of your own shadow

Don’t go outside again
Stay home, stay home
It’s so cozy in this den
Stay home, stay home
Don’t go outside, outside again
Don’t go outside, outside again
Don’t go outside, outside again!
