The magician is late
I decide to fake
my own tricks
I’m lying in the back of a smashed up car
with a drum and a guitar
beside me

The car radio is on
what is this song
I try to sing along
but cannot keep up with the words
I close my eyes
and dream about changing

I’m sailing a ship on a lake that never runs dry
stopping and starting because I’m a little
I’m a little bit shy

Girl comes running with a book in her hand
I open to the first page
it says
yes you can
get over your shy inhibitions
if you try to

She says follow me down to the lake
and take
all your troubles and your worries
and you shake, shake, shake
them out into
the deep blue water

I’m sailing a ship on a lake that never runs dry
stopping and starting because I’m a little
I’m a little bit shy

I’m a little bit shy

Surprise surprise
you’re standing in a movie still
the sun in your eyes
I walk up to you and say can we
talk about it
yes you say you’d like to

You whisper something
in my ear
it is a code or a message and it all
becomes so clear
I close my eyes
and dream about changing

I’m sailing a ship on a lake that never runs dry
stopping and starting because I’m a little
I’m a little bit shy

I’m sailing a ship on a lake that never runs dry
stopping and starting because I’m a little
I’m a little bit shy

I’m a little bit shy
