lyrics

I’m the eyes in the shadows  
the flower on the wall 
sitting on the underground wondering 
if we’d get along 
 
I’m always chasing this  
Will I ever fit in  
I can’t say too much 
or I’ll scare them all away 
 
And it’s funny that it’s — 
the very thing that turns them off 
Why can’t I just be myself  
and that be ok 
 
I know 
it worked once  
for me 
Feel like a  
bomb’s gone off in me  
There’s chaos in the way 
 
Give it up for the  
shy kids shy kids 
that only lonely knows  
Every turn  
they say we’re brave  
but we’re just getting on 
 
Give it up for the  
shy kids shy kids 
So many turn away 
Every time  
they think we’re strange    
so we’re the ones who change  
 
See these woman with friends from school 
forever young 
I’m shrinking down 
bow my head and look away 
 
They all gawk from the wings 
A first-row ticket to my misery  
until they’re bored as hell 
 
And it’s funny that it’s — 
the very thing that turns them off 
Why can’t I just be myself  
and that be ok 
 
I know 
it worked once  
for me 
Feel like a  
bomb’s gone off in me  
There’s chaos in the way 
 
Give it up for the  
shy kids shy kids 
that only lonely knows  
Every turn  
they say we’re brave  
but we’re just getting on 
 
Give it up for the  
shy kids shy kids 
So many turn away 
Every time  
they think we’re strange    
so we’re the ones who change  
 
I make art cause  
I don’t know how to party 
Won’t go to shows  
for the fear of the  
spotlight on my body 
 
Roving eyes  
I’ll dress right down  
to blend right in 
Hide my face  
I’ll grow my hair 
So you can’t see me  
 
Shy kids 
Shy kids 
 
Give it up for the  
shy kids shy kids 
that only lonely knows  
Every turn  
they say we’re brave  
but we’re just getting on 
 
Give it up for the  
shy kids shy kids 
So many turn away 
Every time  
they think we’re strange    
so we’re the ones who change  
 
Shy kids oh woah oh oh  
Shy kids oh woah oh oh
