Alison Krauss & Union Station - On the Outside Looking In lyrics

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 or feeling all alone Maybe we'll trade places in some not too 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 Well I could brag on the things I've done or the places I have been But I never found a cure for on the outside looking in 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
