On The Outside

(album: Persona Non Grata - 2018)

Hang tight now don't go running off, I think you got your way
There's nothing here but broken memories and countless days
You think that no one hears you but I know that you are there
Echoes through these walls are ringing out and oh, so clear

It seems there's no way out
Where do you think that you're going?
You scream and shout
I swear I've seen that look before
No way out
It just goes to show, yeah
You never really know what's going on

Is this the least of my worries
You never know what's really going on
Wish I could tell you I'm sorry
Would you just sit back and play along

It's okay
I'll be just fine
Smiling on the outside
Take my hand
Take your time
Sometimes it doesn't show on the outside

It's in your voice
I hear the resistance
As if there were a choice
Instead of persistence
Discouraged and annoyed
I feel the distance
Is this the way that you see things going down?

It seems there's no way out
Where do you think that you're going?
You scream and shout
I swear I've seen that look before
No way out
It just goes to show, yeah
You never really know what's going on

Is this the least of my worries
You never know what's really going on
Wish I could tell you I'm sorry
Would you just sit back and play along

It's okay
I'll be just fine
Smiling on the outside
Take my hand
Take your time
Sometimes it doesn't show on the outside...
