Scott McCaughey - Shut Them Out lyrics

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
