Lyrics

Well you say we're on the same team,
but your "we" never includes me.
I'm on the outside way out here,
you couldn't even hear me if I cheer.

But on the edge is quite a view,
away from the center and far from you.
On the edge I see the truth;
I see straight inside you.

You see I'm on the outside looking in,
I'll never be one of the cool kids.
And I've got people that I love,
but I'll never be good enough.
I'll never be.

Don't let me drift away in the mainstream,
float away on mediocrity.
Same thoughts, same style, same words-
you're treading shallow water, so absurd.

But on the shore is quite a view,
away from the current and far from you.
Cause on the shore I see the truth.
I see straight inside you.

You see I'm on the outside looking in,
I'll never be one of the cool kids.
And I've got people that I love,
but I'll never be good enough.
I'll never be.

I'll go as close to the edge as I can without going over.
But if I fall, there's no one else to save me, I'm a lone soldier.

You see I'm on the outside...
You see I'm on the outside looking in,
I'll never be one of the cool kids.
And I've got people that I love,
but I'll never be good enough.
I'll never be.
