The Outskirts Lyrics

When I touch myself I think of you

One day I'll sing how much I miss you

But now I crave your attention

Your dirty confession

Close your eyes, just tonight

You and I

The outskirts make me think of you

I remember your face when you took in the view

Nobody knows where we are

No one's paying attention

So tonight, you and I

Close your eyes

I used to stay awake late at night

Didn't even know what I was missing

Now that you're gone, I'm left with nothing

My nighttime lover

Don't wanna see the day we might burn

Nobody can know the things we're hiding

There were so many lessons learned

My nighttime lover

Why do I feel sad when you're not mine?

Oh baby I - I know this feeling's out of line

Do you remember the place where you picked up my heart

and then walked away with a scar?

I used to stay awake late at night

Didn't even know what I was missing

Now that you're gone, I'm left with nothing

My nighttime lover

Don't wanna see the day we might burn

Nobody can know the things we're hiding

There were so many lessons learned

My nighttime lover

The outskirts made me feel alive

Now I feel dead inside but I can't close my eyes

And I'll wait for something even if I'll wait forever

If I'll wait will I be alright?

I used to stay awake late at night

Didn't even know what I was missing

Now that you're gone, I'm left with nothing

My nighttime lover

Don't wanna see the day we might burn

Nobody can know the things we're hiding

There were so many lessons learned

My nighttime lover

The outskirts made me feel alive

Now I feel dead inside but I can't close my eyes

And I'll wait for something even if I'll wait forever

If I'll wait will I be alright?

The outskirts make me think of you

I'm still amazed at all the views

I've been through hell and back

But what hurts even more

Is my broken concept of you
