How I Ended Up Here - Jason Gray

There’s something I need to confess

At the risk of exposing my faults

But I’m starting to find that most of the time

I just don’t like people at all

When I saw you five minutes ago

I was afraid you might talk off my ear

I panicked inside and decided to hide

And that’s how I ended up here

Crouching behind the live lobster tank

Hoping you’d just pass me by, oh…

That’s how I ended up here

That’s how I ended up here

Oh how I wish I could say

It’s my first time to hide in this spot

But with all of the people I try to avoid

I find myself down here a lot

I mean, just look at these guys in the tank

With the red rubber bands 'round their arms

If they don’t open up

And just keep to themselves

They won’t do anyone harm

So I screen my calls

Don’t answer the door

Sometimes wish I could disappear

Oh… That's how I ended up here

That’s how I ended up.

Building a wall so no one could bother me

Living my life in isolation

Opening up to only those close to me

Nobody’s close to me, what have I done?

See, I really want to be known

But I’m not quite as strong as the fear

That you won’t understand the fool that I am

And that’s how I ended up here

That’s how I ended up here

That’s how I ended up here
