On The Outside Looking In — текст песни (Tim O`Brien)

You close the door in front of me, I wait patiently outside
But as the minutes tick away I feel the anger rise
Who`s the object of this rage, who`s not being fair
Is it you for your indifference or me for just standing there

CHORUS:
In my mind the room beyond is bathed in golden light
I dream about you through the day and I toss and turn at night
Sometimes it`s hard to understand, they say that pride`s a sin
Should I go or should I stay on the outside looking in

I didn`t make the grade today and I`m not the only one
But my heart, it won`t stop hurting and feeling all alone
Maybe we`ll trade places in some not too distant year
I`ll hear your voice calling out, I`ll cover up my ears

CHORUS

I could brag on things I`ve done or the places I have been
But I never found a cure for on the outside looking in
Sometimes it`s hard to understand, they say that pride`s a sin
Should I go or should I stay on the outside looking in
