I'm not a tree
Some redwood in a park
Someone who takes roots
Inside a big backyard
If home is where the heart is
Then mine no longer beats
To my inconsistencies
And ultimate defeat
Stay on the outside (stay on the outside)
This place wasn't built for me
Stay on the outside (stay on the outside)
Stay on the outside
Now I'm suffocating
In this world we created
I hope that you notice
I won't be coming back around
Another day spent on the floor
And endless facade that I'll have to ignore
The things that I need they all fall apart
We live our real lives and we want
We want nothing more
Stay on the outside (stay on the outside)
Maybe out here is more free
Stay on the outside (stay on the outside)
Stay on the outside
This place wasn't built for me
Now you know so you can see
Stay on the outside (stay on the outside)
This place wasn't built for me
Stay on the outside (stay on the outside)
Stay on the outside
So stay on the outside (stay on the outside)
Maybe out here is more free
Stay on the outside (stay on the outside)
Stay on the outside
