Lyrics
Looking Out
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I went out looking for the answers and never left my town.
I'm no good at understanding, but I'm good at standing ground.
And when I asked a corner preacher, I couldn't hear him for my youth.
Some people get religion, some people get the truth.
I never get the truth, I never get the truth.
I know the darkness falls on you. And it's just a point of view
When you're outside looking in, you belong to someone
And when you feel like giving in and the coming of the end,
Like your heart can break in two, someone loves you.
I lay this suitcase on my chest, so I can feel somebody's weight.
And I lay you to rest just to feel a give and take
I got a new interpretation and it's a better point of view,
Are you were looking for a landslide? I was looking out for you,
I was looking out for you, someone's looking out for you
I know the darkness falls on you. And it's just a point of view
When you're outside looking in, you belong to someone
And when you feel like giving in and the coming of the end,
Like your heart can break in two, someone loves you.
I am afraid of crossing lines. I am afraid of flying blind.
Afraid of inquiring minds. Afraid of being left behind.
I close my eyes, I think of you. I take a step, I think of you.
I catch my breath, I think of you. I cannot rest, I think of you.
My one and only wrecking ball, and you're cutting through my walls.
When you're outside looking in, you belong to someone
And when you feel like giving in and the coming of the end,
Like your heart could break in two, someone loves you.
