Cover art for Snowman lyrics by Barenaked Ladies

You only freak out like that one day a year? Wow, you're MUCH saner than I am!

You're right, "shutting down emotions" wasn't exactly the right way to put it, but I stand by what I was trying to say. I'll try again: I was thinking more of someone who can't break out of their shell enough to make meaningful contact with people. Hence all the "I don't fit in." Just watching everyone else's relationships, without being able to have one of your own.
