Outside In

[Verse 1]

Love yourself? Well, do I dare?

Cannot bear my moons and like my hair

I got this body, is it just a bag?

Gotta feed it everyday and that's a drag

[Verse 2]

Do I only trust what I can see?

Is this matter all that matters? Is it more to me?

Checkin' my reflection out a thousand times

Always have wondered who the hell's that guy

[Chorus]

I'm so sick of living from the outside in

Never goin' deeper than the outside in

How am I ever gonna love anything?

If I'm living from the outside in

[Verse 3]

I made some stuff, I got called a fool

There's no way to sidestep ridicule

By the lonely and the angry on the message boards

Makin' me nostalgic for being ignored

[Verse 4]

I wanna thicken my skin, stand tall and free

Build a house from the bricks people throw at me

You keep on cuttin' me down the sides

I'm not looking through your eyes

[Chorus 2]

You're only looking from the outside in

Aren't you sick of watching from the outside in?

How are you ever gonna love anything?

If you're living from the outside in

[Bridge]

I lost some friends along the way

They each had a piper they had to pay

My pal Erin claimed mastery

Ended up hangin' from the family tree

So we drove up north, got out of town

Often mourn a brother who got taken down

[?] for the grace of God, go high

I'm not wasting any more time

I tell you, darling, I'm not wasting any more time

[Chorus 3]

Living from the outside in

Seein' everybody from the outside in

How are you ever gonna love anything?

If you're living from the outside-

Outside in

Life's too short to live it from the outside in

How am I ever gonna love anything?

No more living from the outside in
