Outsider

(الألبوم: Soft Spot - 2023)

I thought about
All of these people
Passing me by
Why does it get me down?
I'm window shopping
I want what they got
Everyone's laughing
Why won't they let me in?

I'm just an outsider
Yeah
I'm just an outsider
Yeah. yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Outsider
Yeah
I'm just an outsider
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

All of a sudden
It's time for taxes
So many bills to pay
And I'm out of practice
Forgot how it was
Before I imagined
I could do anything
But this is what happened
The road got to rough
And I lost my traction
Forget about love
There's no satisfaction
I'm packing it up
I lost all my passion
Enough is enough
It's gone out of fashion

I'm just an outsider
Yeah
I'm just an outsider
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I'm just an outsider
Yeah, yeah
I'm just an outsider
Whoah-oh, whoah-oh

I can't believe I never noticed that
If not for me, I would've already known this
And there's a seed that just keeps growing inside
It's got to be, 'cause it's already showing

Yeah
Just an outsider
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I'm just an outsider, yeah
Yea-ah
I'm just an outsider
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Just an outsider
Yea-ah, yea-ah

Went to the preacher
Right up to the steeple
Teacher, oh, teacher
I can't be so cynical
You tell me it takes some time
But I'm 'bout to lose my mind
I can't keep going on and on
Somethin's gotta give, yeah, yeah

Ain't nobody wanna hear from me
So I stay quiet and behind the scenes, yeah
Missing all the most important pieces
Doing everything without a reason why

Ain't nobody wanna hear from me
So I stay quiet and behind the scenes, yeah
Missing all the most important pieces
Doing everything without a reason why

Ain't nobody wanna hear from me
(Just an outsider)
So I stay quiet and behind the scenes, yeah
(Just an outsider)
Missing all the most important pieces
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Doing everything without a reason why
(Just an outsider)
Ain't nobody wanna hear from me
(Just an outsider)
So I stay quiet and behind the scenes, yeah
Missing all the most important pieces
Doing everything without a reason why

See, I been this way all my life
Been called selfish more than twice
People would give me their advice
But I just nibble and never bite
See, me, I always try to keep it light
And that always seems to make some people tight
But everything ain't always black and white
And I gotta do what I consider right, yeah
Problems used to keep me up at night
But now I'm good 'cause I got some hindsight
And I don't worry 'cause I got my mind right
And I don't hurry 'cause I know I got time
And I don't waste shit, not on my dime
I'm scooping up whatever I can find
Put it on a plate and squeeze some lime
Cut it up and put it in a line
