歌词：

Song：Outside Looking In
Artist：Nick Lachey

Paper houses,
And fallen angels,
Some-times you can't see infront of you.
Wasted moments,
Trying to be someone I,
Never wanted to be for you.

But I feel my world coming back to life,
My eyes are finally open again.
Now I see it all,
It a different light,
Standing¹ on the outside,
I'm finally on the outside,
Looking in.

Reaching out into unknown spaces,
With nothing left here to blur² the view.
And now I know I got to find,
This picture frozen³ in my mind,
Of a life I never knew.

But I feel my world coming back to life,
My eyes are finally open again.
Now I see it all,
It a different light,
Standing on the outside,
I'm finally on the outside.

I'm tearing out the page,
Breathing for a change,
And it's so good.

To feel myself coming back to life,
I'm finally on the outside,
I'm finally on the outside.
And I feel my world coming back to life,
My eyes are finally open again.
Now I see it all,
It a different light,
Standing on the outside,
I'm finally on the outside,
Looking in.
