ELLIOTT SMITH SHYTOWN LYRICS

 
Crossing my eyes and making faces
I hope we don't go to too many places
'cause then before I go to sleep
I'll wonder exactly what she means when...
when she says that I am...I am too shy

Finding a way to stay inside
She always asks me "are you having a good time?"
Come in here where the band is playing.
Are you coming alone or are you staying?
Well I'm fine...I'm fine, quit askin'

It's the hardest thing, to meet her friends.
I always feel like I have to entertain them.
All alone with the jokes that I forget,
someone's boyfriend dangles the t.v set.
Well I live...I live...I live in a shy town
Well I live...yeah I live, I live in a shy town.
