On The Outside Looking In Lyrics - Paper Airplane - Alison Krauss & Union Station

You close the 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 

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, it won't stop hurting and feeling all alone 

Maybe we'll trade places in some not so distant year 

I'll hear your voice calling out, and I'll cover up my ears 

'Cause in my mind the room beyond is bathed in golden light 

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
