Outside Looking In

{Actually in A; .} {intro} Everywhere I see the signs, pointing one direction No more twists or crooked turns, leaving room for doubt Where I used to take the time for quiet and reflection Now I only hear the noise of what I am without I see them walking hand in hand, and my eyes just want to linger On those golden wedding bands, wrapped around their fingers By the time I turn away, I feel it once again I'm back in this familiar place, outside looking in {instrumental} Baby, all the tears between us couldn't fill the spaces And all the word we grasped at, they just fell away I kept waiting on forgiveness to fix the broken places But nothing even like it ever came my way And tonight I drove around, and the street came up before me I took a turn and then I found this old house coming toward me I heard the sound a heart must make when a memory's caving in Oh baby, what a hungry place, outside looking in {instrumental} It's the hardest kind of need that never knows a reason Are we such a lonely breed, or just born in a lonely season Baby, it's all in the eyes, it's where the reckoning begins It's where we linger like a sigh, it's where we long to be pulled in It's where we learn to say goodbye without saying anything Standing on the borderline, outside looking in {instrumental; repeat and fade} - Adam Schneider, [email protected]
