On The Outside Looking In

On The Outside Looking In - Alison Krauss & Union Station

You've closed a door in front of me

I wait patiently outside

And as the minutes tick away

I feel my anger rise

And who's the object of my rage

And who's not being fair

Is it you for your indifference

Or me for just standing there

'Cause in my mind the room beyond

Is bathed in golden light

Well I dream about you through the day

And I toss and turn at night

Sometimes it's hard to understand

When they say that pride's a sin

Should I go or should I stay

On the outside looking in

Well I didn't make the grade today

And I'm not the only one

But my heart won't stop hurting

My feeling all alone

And maybe we'll trade places

In some not so distant year

I'll hear your voice a-calling out

And I'd cover up my ears

'Cause in my mind the room beyond

Is bathed in golden light

Well I dream about you through the day

And I toss and turn at night

Well sometimes it's hard to understand

When they say that pride's a sin

An' should I go or should I stay

On the outside looking in

Well I could brag on the things I've done

Or the places I have been

But I've never found a cure

For on the outside looking in

Sometimes it's hard to understand

When they say that pride's a sin

Should I go or should I stay

On the outside looking in
