Outside Looking In Lyrics by Jay Bennett

Bigger Than Blue

2004

Well, my eyesight's real cloudy
My vision's still clear
And I think I mistook you
For someone I should fear
The simplest things in life
All get so complicated
I was always the first
And you were always the latest
You shuffled your deck for me
But you dealt the same cards
And nobody's loved me so hard

When it's life from the outside looking in
I'll buy you a beer if you'll buy me a gin
There's always tomorrow when I get this way
But why can't tomorrow come today?

Well, I'm the first to admit
That I might let you down
But I think you mistook me
For someone who'd stick around
The best things in life are so overrated
And all my new ideas seem so outdated
I'll shuffle my feet for you
But I'm goin' nowhere
Why is it so hard to care?

When it's life from the outside looking in
I'll buy you a beer if you'll buy me a gin
There's always tomorrow when I get this way
But why can't tomorrow come today?
