Inside Looking Out
How many days do you stay inside
And pray for better weather
How many nights do you lie awake
And hope
Counting the stars and passing cars
Every word, every letter
Every song and every measure takes me back
When you look at the glass
Do you see on through
Or do you see your own reflection
If you only knew
Would your reason turn to doubt
I still can't tell
If you can see me now
As you stare in my direction
You're on the outside looking in
I'm on the inside looking out
How many drops of falling rain
Will it take to make this clearer
And wash away the shadows and the dust
The dark and stained window pane
Becomes a one way mirror
You see you
But I see us
When you look at the glass
Do you see on through
Or do you see your own reflection
If you only knew
Would your reason turn to doubt
I still can't tell
If you can see me now
As you stare in my direction
You're on the outside looking in
I'm on the inside looking out
When you look at the glass
Do you see on through
Or do you see your own reflection
If you only knew
Would your reason turn to doubt
Still can't tell
If you can see me now
As you stare in my direction
You're on the outside looking in
Ohhh you're on the outside looking in
When you look at the glass
Do you see on through
Or do you see your own reflection
If you only knew
Would your reason turn to doubt
I still can't tell
If you can see now
As you stare in my direction
You're on the outside looking in
I'm on the inside
Looking out
And pray for better weather
How many nights do you lie awake
And hope
Counting the stars and passing cars
Every word, every letter
Every song and every measure takes me back
When you look at the glass
Do you see on through
Or do you see your own reflection
If you only knew
Would your reason turn to doubt
I still can't tell
If you can see me now
As you stare in my direction
You're on the outside looking in
I'm on the inside looking out
How many drops of falling rain
Will it take to make this clearer
And wash away the shadows and the dust
The dark and stained window pane
Becomes a one way mirror
You see you
But I see us
When you look at the glass
Do you see on through
Or do you see your own reflection
If you only knew
Would your reason turn to doubt
I still can't tell
If you can see me now
As you stare in my direction
You're on the outside looking in
I'm on the inside looking out
When you look at the glass
Do you see on through
Or do you see your own reflection
If you only knew
Would your reason turn to doubt
Still can't tell
If you can see me now
As you stare in my direction
You're on the outside looking in
Ohhh you're on the outside looking in
When you look at the glass
Do you see on through
Or do you see your own reflection
If you only knew
Would your reason turn to doubt
I still can't tell
If you can see now
As you stare in my direction
You're on the outside looking in
I'm on the inside
Looking out
