Lyrics
From the Outside
From the outside looking in
Where we've gone reflects somewhere we've been
Burning candles at both ends
Rules will break if they won't bend
Chorus
And so the hand that takes the time
Sings the verse and writes the line
Helps endure the endless climb
The one that's yours
And the one that's mine
From the outside looking in
Have to find the strength within
Turn and give it back again
You alone your only friend
Chorus
The window's shut and the door just closed
The river of love no longer flows
When it flows I'll write again
And take my place
On the outside looking in
Oh, I'll take my place
On the outside looking in
