[Verse 1]
Wonder why you stay inside
I can't talk, can't speak my mind
Why you wanna waste your time?
Why don't you join me outside?
Everything is good, everything is fine
Thought I'd let you know, having a great time
Wonder why you stay inside
I can't talk, can't speak my mind
[Chorus]
I'm like a snail, you're a guy
Kinda mad I can't fly
When it's day, hide away
But come out when it rains
Like a snail, you're a guy
Kinda mad I can't fly
When it's day, hide away
But come out when it rains, when it rains
[Post-Chorus]
When it rains
(When it rains)
(When it rains)
(When it rains)
[Verse 2]
As I wake, down goes day
Out comes night, look alive
And I'll meet you in the park
The moon will light up my path
Everything's passing by
I ride to you on my bike
While everyone is asleep
Meet at the top of your street
[Chorus]
I'm like a snail, you're a guy
Kinda mad I can't fly
When it's day, hide away
But come out when it rains
Like a snail, you're a guy
Kinda mad I can't fly
When it's day, hide away
But come out when it rains, when it rains
[Post-Chorus]
When it rains
(When it rains)
(When it rains)
(When it rains)
[Bridge]
Snail
(When it rains)
(When it rains)
(When it rains)
[Chorus]
I'm like a snail, you're a guy
Kinda mad I can't fly
When it's day, hide away
But come out when it rains
Like a snail, you're a guy
Kinda mad I can't fly
When it's day, hide away
But come out when it rains, when it rains

I wrote one yesterday about a snail and it’s called “Snail.” It’s currently my favourite song. I started to write it about me being a snail but then we were like, I’ve g...
When we were in lockdown, I was fascinated by snails. There wasn’t really a lot to be doing, so I would spend a lot of time outside looking at snails and would think about how they’re doing their own little thing and they’re all free. I just played around with the idea of being kind of like a snail...
