Shut Them Out
Available on: My Chartreuse Opinion
Written by: McCaughey

I used to get excited when I heard that doorbell ring
But now I know there's no one that I really wanna see
I don't want companions or surprises they might bring
Want someone please tell me what's the matter with me

Oh shut them out
Shut them out
Shut them out
I don't wanna be alone

I know I still love people I swear I really do
But more and more I find myself locked up at home, alone
Cause I’m crossing off old friends and not meeting anyone new
And the recorder call is broken so I just unplug the telephone

And shut them out
Shut them out
Shut them out
I don't wanna be alone

Shut them out
Shut them out
Shut them out
I don't wanna be alone

How far can I take this before I scream for help?
Because I’m lying on the couch again just watching dumb TV
I couldn't make myself stand up tonight so me and myself
They say an old man is an island but I’m surrounded by the sea

Oh shut them out
Shut them out
Shut them out
I don't wanna be alone

Shut them out
Shut them out
Shut them out
I don't wanna be alone
I don't wanna be alone
