Lyrics

"The Inside" - Jeff Solomon & Eric Wikman © 2011

VERSE:
You may talk about me ...callin me ugly
passin me by in the neighborhood
but 15 years ago I was really something
brand new paint on brand new wood
PRE:
now i've got boarded up windows ...bolts on every door
I ain't much to look ... at but I'm pretty sure
CHORUS:
If you could just see whats on the inside
past the busted walls and burnt out lights
theres a place that feels like home
a foundation made of stone
Where anyone can just live their life

VERSE 2:
Filled up with memories... Empty as I can be
remember when I used to be a home
now I'm a fixer-upper ..where the young lovers
sneak in the door just to be alone
PRE:
This town almost knocked me down...once or twice
but throughout it all ...I'm holding up pretty nice

CHORUS:
If you could just see whats on the inside
past the busted walls and burnt out lights
theres a place that feels like home
a foundation made of stone
Where anyone can just live their life

Take a quick look inside, you'll see
it's been a while since I've had company
I might need a few repairs
but I'm still standing here
Hell, you might fall love with me
if you could just see whats on the inside

SOLO:

PRE:
This town almost knocked me down ...once or twice
but throughout it all ...I'm holding up pretty nice

CHORUS OUT:
If you could just see whats on the inside
past the busted walls and burnt out lights
theres a place that feels like home
a foundation made of stone
Where anyone can just live their life

Take a quick look inside, you'll see
up the drive comes a new family
I've waited for this day
for someone to finally say
fall in love with me
if you could just see whats on the inside
