/// Lyrics:
I can walk along the outside
I can live all on my own
Don’t need to be so tied
Down to the phone
Gonna sever the ties
To this wicked world
Gonna straighten out
And forgot what I’ve learned
Gonna live on the outside
And never look in
There’s nothing to see
When you’ve had it
There’s a little path
Through the cold dark woods
What’s on the other side?
Don’t know, but I should
We spoke at the same time
Then it happened over and over and over
It could be so nice
To stand on the outside
Look it over
We’re getting older
Hear the sirens
Something terrible’s happening somewhere
What do you rely on?
What’s keeping you from your beloved?
Hear the sirens
Something’s calling you somewhere
Many disguises
We have learned to talk through
Come again
And tell me why you listened
Come again
And tell me why you love him
I can never stand still
Or keep from running
Or close my eyes when you show me something
And when you told me a secret
You know I wouldn’t lie
Couldn’t tell a soul
How could I?
Fell into a black hole
Then you pulled me out
Then you fell in
And we almost drowned
But there’s a little light
At the end of the road
We’re almost there
Gonna make it home
