Lyrics:

Outside Looking In 1/14/2010 | Song # 409

Refrain:
I’m one of those kids who never fits in
Always out side looking in
At the cool kids having all the fun

I like to read, I like to write
I like to watch the birds in flight
I don’t see the world in terms of black and white

I like to sing, I like to skate,
I like to investigate
The movements of tectonic plates

I want to design a pollution free car
I want to travel to the stars
I like to collect things in mason jars

Bridge:
Sometimes it’s lonely being the only one
Excluded from the fun
Sometimes its hard to stand apart
But I like that I like what I like to do

I always wear black I never wear pink
Have you ever thought to think?
About how many times a day you blink

You may think I’m balmy but I like origami
I like the way it calms me
And gives me something to do

When the popular crowd gets a little too loud
I imagine I’m on a cloud
Watching the world so far below
