There was a time where the only door open
Felt like the window down the hallway we used to live
And I wanted to hide in my shell
From the world that just keeps spinning round
Like a turtle, I carry a burden on my back
I might be slow, but better I got started
The years will be kind to us
This year won't be like the last
But I wanted to hide in my shell
From the world that just keeps spinning round
Like a turtle, so many years behind my tail
And I wanted to hide in my shell
From the world that just keeps spinning round
Like a turtle, I'm too slow to run away
It's just easier to deal with things that way
But like a turtle, I'm slow with 300 years
I haven't seen nothing yet
