I'm having a hard time trying to communicate I'm standing in a line feeling like I can't relate When I was a boy, my heart was full of dreams I'm no different now than I was yesterday I'm on the outside looking in I would have taken on the world back then On the outside looking in On the outside, I never fit in I miss the summer days that seemed to last for years We'd drink the night away till the sunrise was near I wish I would have known all that I know now I tried to change the world but I just got old somehow I'm on the outside looking in I would have taken on the world back then On the outside looking in On the outside, I never fit in I'm on the outside looking in I would have taken on the world back then On the outside looking in I was never cut quite to ever fit in Yeah, I know I don't act my age I got old but I still feel the same Prayed on a band, prayed on a van I prayed for a way out of this place I go back from time to time I left back then and I know why See if I didn't then I'd die... Some stayed and got old But my unstable heart shines like fucking gold On the outside looking in On the outside, never fit in On the outside looking in On the outside, I never I'm on the outside looking in I would have taken on the world back then On the outside looking in On the outside, I never fit in On the outside On the outside, I never fit in On the outside On the outside, I never fit in
