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

 [bad word] 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
