Standing on the Outside Looking In

Lyrics

Standing on the outside looking in Don't feel any different, it's the way it's always been In a world of headless well-dressed mannequins You're always standing on the outside looking in I remember when you taught me how to beg In a roadside motel bathtub, I watched you shave your legs We swore that we would take this to our graves I remember when you taught me how to beg You said only I could make you happy But I'm not gonna tell you how I don't want this to last forever Only now, only now There's a place she longs to be she'll never go Took a picture out the window with the camera on her phone Got off one more time then put back on her clothes There's a place she longs to be she'll never go And now I'm standing on the outside looking in On a world of paper tigers and imaginary friends It's a shame I can't be bothered to pretend When I'm standing at the outside looking in I told you how I planned on dying But you know I always joke around I'm up for never saying never At least for now, at least for now 'Cause I could never make you happy But I know just how to calm you down We don't have to see the future Only now, only now
