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
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 seem 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 grew old somehow
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 outta 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 fit in
