Lyrics

Outside

[Verse 1]

Outside, you don't know why

Tell each other in the middle of the night

Talk about it like you really want to know

What she running around for?

[Verse 2]

Rat-tat the door unlatch

Someone here to take you back

Outside in the middle of the street

Are you getting what you need?

[Chorus]

Thoughts of you running through my mind

Open door but it doesn't feel right

You look at me as if you know what it's like

In the shadow of the streetlight

[Verse 3]

Now I know I can't go back

You're with her and she doesn't deserve that

But when I look into your eyes

You see something I'm trying to hide

[Verse 4]

Thoughts of you running through my mind

Open door but it doesn't feel right

You look at me as if you know what it's like

In the shadow of the streetlight

[Chorus]

Thoughts of you running through my mind

Open door but it doesn't feel right

You look at me as if you know what it's like

In the shadow of the streetlight

Shadow, why's it a shame for me to love?

[Outro]

In the shadow of the streetlight

In the shadow of the streetlight

In the shadow of the streetlight

In the shadow of the streetlight
