Outside Looking In

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Steel pulse in a steady hand You're as cool as the night Even with the sunrise in your eyes Steady hand alright Soon be outta sight Got the covers barely lifted You're gifted in your daring escape How did it feel To climb into the ring? You were looking for a fight And singing take me on or take me in You never saw battle But you leave through force of habit Looking through her frosted window A reminder that it's warm inside [Chorus] How can you get close When you're outside looking in? How can you see lovе When you're outside looking in? Hеaven help and hold you If you're outside looking Inside for it all [Verse 2] Keeping with tradition You answer yourself slowly Since you're the only witness This couldn't be a crime Both of you were willing Only one of you was loving You could understand the difference But it takes up too much time So you memorize the number To a perfect situation Reclaim your priceless freedom As you pull out into traffic Where you can put a little distance And time between connections Until some other evening When you're baying at the moon again [Chorus] How can you get close When you're outside looking in? How can you see love When you're outside looking in? Heaven help and hold you If you're outside looking Inside for it all [Bridge] And if you think that you're the Owner of this memory Remember you weren't alone [Verse 3] Now it's back to business Where you calculate each moment Where you measure your success By a number or an unknown name You can put it all behind you You can get behind the wheel You're the famous movin' target You're forever changing lanes Using up the freeway Your hand outside the window The wind between your fingers Won't take her memory away It's sure to stay with you And when you very least expect it It reduces you to wonder And there's no answer in your briefcase [Chorus] How can you get close When you're outside looking in? How can you see love When you're outside looking in? Heaven help and hold you If you're outside looking Inside for it all
