Outside

You are the only thing I never knew I wanted

And I'm thinking that it's just not right

But you can change my mind; I leave it open

My heart on my sleeve, my head in my hands

They're there for you, if you seek them

Just search a little harder, little deeper

You're aiming for something on the surface that isn't there

It's not open to you, not yet; try harder

That's what they always tell me; run faster

But I'm shooting for the stars, and honestly

I think you're settling for the moon

You can do better than this, better than me

Just look a little farther, pray a little more

I know you're on your knees tonight

You're looking from the outside, like I used to

But now we've switched sides and I'm inside

I can see you looking at me, and I know

But I can't bring myself to let you know

So tell me, will you speak your mind

I want to know if you're going to keep running,

Keep searching, keep going and going

I want to know if I can change anything here

So even though my head says yes yes yes

My heart says no, no, I can't do this

And I knew I didn't need this, so why do you think

That it's what is right here, what is right to you

Why do we have differing views

On the same important things
