Looking Out

  • I went out looking for the answers
    And never left my town
    I'm no good at understanding
    But I'm good at standing ground
    And when I asked a corner preacher
    I couldn't hear him for my youth
    Some people get religion
    Some people get the truth
    I never get the truth
    I never get the truth

    I know the darkness pulls on you
    But it's just a point of view
    When you're outside looking in
    You belong to someone
    And when you feel like giving in
    On the coming of the end
    Like your heart could break in two
    Someone loves you

    I lay this suitcase on my chest
    So I can feel somebody's weight
    And I laid you to rest
    Just to feel a give and take
    I got a new interpretation
    And it's a better point of view
    While you were looking for a landslide
    I was looking out for you
    I was looking out for you
    Someone's looking out for you

    I know the darkness pulls on you
    But it's just a point of view
    When you're outside looking in
    You belong to someone
    And when you feel like giving in
    On the coming of the end
    Like your heart could break in two
    Someone loves you

    I am afraid of crossing lines
    I am afraid of flying blind
    Afraid of inquiring minds
    Afraid of being left behind

    I close my eyes, I think of you (close my eyes)
    I take a step, I think of you (take a step)
    I catch my breath, I think of you (close my eyes)
    I cannot rest, I think of you

    My one and only wrecking ball
    And you're crashing through my walls
    When you're outside looking in
    You belong to someone
    And when you feel like giving in
    On the coming of the end
    Like your heart could break in two
    Someone loves you, yeah Writer/s: Brandi M. Carlile, Phillip John Hanseroth, Timothy Jay Hanseroth
