Lyrics

Outside Looking In
music and lyrics by Hunt Sidway

Brothers, sisters please forgive
I?m just trying to learn to live
Must have holes all through my heart
the good leaks through me like a sieve

I?ve hoped and prayed for all these years
cried myself a river of tears
Narcissus by my pool of woe
I?m face to face with all my fears

pre-chorus:
Don?t want to be shut out
like a demon that needs to be cast out
I?m old enough to know what it?s all about
still I cry...

chorus:
I?m on the outside looking in
Don?t know how I should begin
Don?t know where I?m supposed to go
I?ve been searching high and low
Is it time to make my stand
Is this all part of the plan
Do I lay it on the line
Or will I walk away just one more time?


Withered branch cut from the vine
I beg for mercy, at least sometimes
Grafted in with one last chance
I?ve got to get it right this time

repeat pre-chorus & chorus

Let?s just say for argument?s sake
you have to pay for what you break
And no matter what you say or do
you?re never gonna heal that ache

But what if someone had the power
to make it right in one dark hour
from a tree of death planted in the dirt
to make life blossom like a flower

Don?t need to be cast out
No I don?t have to live in shame and doubt
I think you know what I?m talkin? about
so don?t you cry...

I?m on the outside looking in
but now I know how to begin
now I see where i should walk
and I?m learning when to talk
now?s the time to make my stand
this was all part of the plan
got to lay it on the line
don?t let me walk away ...

I?m on the outside looking in
but now I know how to begin
now I seewhere i should go
though I?m learning kinda slow
Now?s the time to make my stand
this was all part of the plan
got to lay it on the line
don?t let me walk away
don?t let me walk away
walk away
