[Verse 1]
Paper houses
And fallen angels
And at times, you can't see in front of you
Wasted moments
Trying to be someone I
Never wanted to be for you

[Chorus]
But I feel my world coming back to life
My eyes are finally open again
Now I see it all
In a different light
Standin' on the outside
I'm finally on the outside
Looking in

[Verse 2]
Reaching out into unknown spaces
With nothing left here to blur the view
And now I know I've got to find
This picture frozen in my mind
Of a life I never knew

[Chorus]
But I feel my world coming back to life
My eyes are finally open again
Now I see it all
In a different light
Standin' on the outside
I'm finally on the outside
[Bridge]
I'm tearin' out the page
Breathing for a change
And it's so good

[Chorus]
To feel myself coming back to life
I'm finally on the outside
I'm finally on the outside
And I feel my world coming back to life
My eyes are finally open again
Now I see it all
In a different light
Standin' on the outside
I'm finally on the outside
Looking in
