Lyrics
I've learned to slam on the brake
Before I even turn the key
Before I make the mistake
Before I lead with the worst of me
Give them no reason to stare
No slipping up if you slip away
So I've got nothing to share
No, I got nothing to say
Step out, step out of the sun
If you keep getting burned
Step out, step out of the sun
Because you've learned,
Because you've learned
On the outside always looking in
Will I ever be more than I've always been?
'Cause I'm tap, tap, tapping on the glass
I'm waving through a window
I try to speak, but nobody can hear
So I wait around for an answer to appear
While I'm watch, watch, watching people pass
I'm waving through a window
Oh, can anybody see,
Is anybody waving back at me?
We start with stars in our eyes
We start believing that we belong
But every sun doesn't rise
And no one tells you where you went wrong
Step out, step out of the sun
If you keep getting burned
Step out, step out of the sun
Because you've learned,
Because you've learned
On the outside always looking in
Will I ever be more than I've always been?
'Cause I'm tap, tap, tapping on the glass
I'm waving through a window
I try to speak, but nobody can hear
So I wait around for an answer to appear
While I'm watch, watch, watching people pass
I'm waving through a window
Oh, can anybody see,
Is anybody waving?
When you're falling in a forest
And there's nobody around
Do you ever really crash,
Or even make a sound
When you're falling in a forest
And there's nobody around
Do you ever really crash,
Or even make a sound
When you're falling in a forest
And there's nobody around
Do you ever really crash,
Or even make a sound
When you're falling in a forest
And there's nobody around
Do you ever really crash,
Or even make a sound
Did I even make a sound?
Did I even make a sound?
It's like I never made a sound
Will I ever make a sound?
On the outside always looking in
Will I ever be more than I've always been
'Cause I'm tap, tap, tapping on the glass
I'm waving through a window
I try to speak
But nobody can hear
So I wait around for an answer to appear
While I'm watch, watch, watching people pass
I'm waving through a window
Can anybody see,
Is anybody waving back at me?
Is anybody waving
Waving, waving, whoa-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh
Before I even turn the key
Before I make the mistake
Before I lead with the worst of me
Give them no reason to stare
No slipping up if you slip away
So I've got nothing to share
No, I got nothing to say
Step out, step out of the sun
If you keep getting burned
Step out, step out of the sun
Because you've learned,
Because you've learned
On the outside always looking in
Will I ever be more than I've always been?
'Cause I'm tap, tap, tapping on the glass
I'm waving through a window
I try to speak, but nobody can hear
So I wait around for an answer to appear
While I'm watch, watch, watching people pass
I'm waving through a window
Oh, can anybody see,
Is anybody waving back at me?
We start with stars in our eyes
We start believing that we belong
But every sun doesn't rise
And no one tells you where you went wrong
Step out, step out of the sun
If you keep getting burned
Step out, step out of the sun
Because you've learned,
Because you've learned
On the outside always looking in
Will I ever be more than I've always been?
'Cause I'm tap, tap, tapping on the glass
I'm waving through a window
I try to speak, but nobody can hear
So I wait around for an answer to appear
While I'm watch, watch, watching people pass
I'm waving through a window
Oh, can anybody see,
Is anybody waving?
When you're falling in a forest
And there's nobody around
Do you ever really crash,
Or even make a sound
When you're falling in a forest
And there's nobody around
Do you ever really crash,
Or even make a sound
When you're falling in a forest
And there's nobody around
Do you ever really crash,
Or even make a sound
When you're falling in a forest
And there's nobody around
Do you ever really crash,
Or even make a sound
Did I even make a sound?
Did I even make a sound?
It's like I never made a sound
Will I ever make a sound?
On the outside always looking in
Will I ever be more than I've always been
'Cause I'm tap, tap, tapping on the glass
I'm waving through a window
I try to speak
But nobody can hear
So I wait around for an answer to appear
While I'm watch, watch, watching people pass
I'm waving through a window
Can anybody see,
Is anybody waving back at me?
Is anybody waving
Waving, waving, whoa-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh
