Shout Out

Let's talk about the weather
and the relentless rain
that has us stuck together within those walls we built
that we bang our heads against

this silence is grating
and the faint hum of discontent
like the hollow sound of an empty house
wakes me up at night wondering where I am

I want to shout out, shout out loud
knowing fine well you'll get it all wrong
but I'm tired of keeping quiet, been there done that for too long
Shout out, shout out loud
hear the echoes in my own head
can't continue to follow...just anywhere I'm lead
Shout out, shout out loud
feel it reverberate through my bones
I'm right here beside you, how come both of us are still alone

Let's talk about the weather
and the freezing cold
that seems to have us paralysed
while we watch ourselves growing old

and we crouch wounded in our corners
afraid of all regret
incapable of remembering anything
and unable to forget

I want to shout out, shout out loud
knowing fine well you'll get it all wrong
but I'm tired of keeping quiet, been there done that for too long
Shout out, shout out loud
hear the echoes in my own head
can't continue to follow...just anywhere I'm lead
Shout out, shout out loud
feel it reverberate through my bones
I'm right here beside you, how come both of us are still alone

I want to shout out, shout out loud
knowing fine well you'll get it all wrong
but I'm tired of keeping quiet
