On the Outside Lyrics

Everybody is asking why I like to swim upstream
Missing out on all the fun so it seems
But I've always found this world writes checks it cannot cash
Selling us the lie that this is where it's at
But I I'm on the outside
Earthly good with heaven on my mind
And I I'm just a passer by home's a place that I have yet to be

Life's always felt like a long and endless dream
Where tests and trials bring you to the final wake up scene
Now I'm not saying I'll ever waste a day
I'm just gonna live like I was never meant to stay

And I I'm on the outside
Earthly good with heaven on my mind
And I I'm just a passer by
Home's a place where I have yet to be
One life will come to pass
And what I've done for you is all that lasts
And so I am here
But I'm a stranger here living in reverent fear

But I I'm on the outside
Earthly good with heaven on my mind
And I I'm just a passer by
Home's a place that I have yet to be
That I have yet to be
That I have yet to be, hmmm

And I I'm on the outside ooh ooh
And I I'm on the outside ooh ooh
And I have life life on the outside yeah
And I have life life on the outside
And I I'm on the outside.
