On the Outside - Authority Zero

Hang tight now don’t go running off, I think you got your way

There’s nothing here but broken memories and countless days

You think that no one hears you but I know that you are there

Echoes through these walls are ringing out and oh, so clear

It seems there’s no way out

Where do you think that you’re going?

You scream and shout

I swear I’ve seen that look before

No way out

It just goes to show, yeah

You never really know what’s going on

Is this the least of my worries

You never know what’s really going on

Wish I could tell you I’m sorry

Would you just sit back and play along

It’s okay

I’ll be just fine

Smiling on the outside

Take my hand

Take your time

Sometimes it doesn’t show on the outside

It’s in your voice

I hear the resistance

As if there were a choice

Instead of persistence

Discouraged and annoyed

I feel the distance

Is this the way that you see things going down?

It seems there’s no way out

Where do you think that you’re going?

You scream and shout

I swear I’ve seen that look before

No way out

It just goes to show, yeah

You never really know what’s going on

Is this the least of my worries

You never know what’s really going on

Wish I could tell you I’m sorry

Would you just sit back and play along

It’s okay

I’ll be just fine

Smiling on the outside

Take my hand

Take your time

Sometimes it doesn’t show on the outside…
