Lyrics
Here On the Outside
Sometimes we stray
Sometimes we stumble
No words to say
As my whole life crumbles
Tears from emotions
To say that we tried
That's the law of the jungle
Here on the outside
Gathering things
Burning old memories
Pictures and rings
No way to forgive me
Don't try to smile
There's nothing to hide
There's thorns every mile
Here on the outside
Safe within
Begin again
Here on the outside
Watching you go
You're catching a taxi
I stand in the door
You look back at me
Hanging my head
I can't say goodbye
Lost in the dread
Of life on the outside
