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
