Outside Lyrics

I'm the dart that missed the dartboard

I'm the drop that missed the glass

I'm the smallest in the litter

The last unpaired one in the class

I'm the un-popped kernels in the bag

I'm standing last in line

I finally reached the entrance

To find it was closing time

Outside, even when I'm inside

In the crowd, but I find

I'm not quite their kind

On the outskirts of the outskirts

Playing solo in this game

Don't wanna be alone

But I don't wanna lose my name

Oh, I'm so different

But I don't wanna be the same

So I stand here on the outside

And try to not feel shame

Standing on the outside, outside, outside

Trying to not feel shame

On the outside, outside, outside

Trying to not feel shame

They're in their little bubble

I'm a bubble of my own

All these things that I'm not saying

All these thoughts that they don't know

I'm the little white speck in the sky

Next to their thick cotton cloud

Try to integrate, but pressure weighs in

Pushing me right out

Outside, even when I'm inside

In the crowd, but I find

I'm not quite their kind

On the outskirts of the outskirts

Playing solo in this game

Don't wanna be alone

But I don't wanna lose my name

Oh, I'm so different

But I don't wanna be the same

So I stand here on the outside

And try to not feel shame

Standing on the outside, outside, outside

Trying to not feel shame

On the outside, outside, outside

Trying to not feel shame

Let's go

Outside, even when I'm inside

In the crowd, but my mind seems so left behind

And I see why, in some places, sometimes

Who I am just won't fly, so I might be shy

It's a hard fight, but I still got my mind

Gotta stand out to shine, so I'll be all right

'Cause it's the right side, if it's truly my side

Outside or inside, all this journey's mine

On the outskirts of the outskirts

Playing solo in this game

Don't wanna be alone

But I don't wanna lose my name (oh-oh-oh)

Oh, I'm so different

But I don't wanna be the same (oh-oh)

So I stand here on the outside

And try to not feel shame

Standing on the outside, outside, outside

Trying to not feel shame

On the outside, outside, outside

Trying to not feel shame

Standing on the outside, outside, outside

Trying to not feel shame

On the outside, outside, outside

Trying to not feel shame
