Outside the Lines
Living Beyond Conformity: Outside the Lines by Riley Pearce
Lyrics
She comes, she goes
She appears and disappears intermittently.
She follows, she flows
She follows certain paths but also flows freely.
She holds herself to the
She adheres to a rhythm akin to the movement of the wind.
Rhythm that the wind blows
She aligns herself with the natural flow and change.
You were so graceful
The subject was graceful yet wild and unrestrained.
But so untamed
She embodied freedom but lacked constraints.
You were free
She possessed liberty.
But that's nothing to be ashamed of
Freedom is a quality to embrace without shame.
You're eyes are like the water
Her eyes resemble the calmness and clarity of water.
You're eyes are like the bluest of skies
Her eyes are as blue as the clearest skies.
You make me want to live outside the lines
She inspires a desire to break conventional boundaries.
You're heading to the border at the peak of night
She journeys toward the border in the darkness.
With nothing but the feeling that it just feels right
She follows her instincts without material possessions.
You've got to leave this town
She feels the need to depart from this place.
You've got to leave this town
Reiterates the urge to leave the current location.
With the ticking of the clock, you lose track of time
Time escapes her due to her disregard for tracking it.
But you were never one to keep track of anything right
She isn't meticulous about keeping track of things.
You're eyes are like the water
Similarity between her eyes and the tranquility of water.
In ways that I could never specify
Her eyes possess indescribable qualities.
You make me want to live outside the lines
She motivates a desire to break away from norms.
All along that skyline
She stands out in the cityscape as a refreshing change.
You were the pleasant change in the evening air
She captivates attention in the evening ambiance.
The focus of my eyes
She becomes the focal point of observation.
Oh well if only our lines would touch
A wish for their paths to intersect or connect.
You never feel the wind chill in the summer time
She doesn’t feel discomfort even in adverse conditions.
You never see your heart break when you're love blind
She remains unaware of heartache due to being infatuated.
And baby we were so blind
Admitting a mutual blindness in a relationship.
Baby we were so blind
Acknowledgment of shared unawareness or naivety.
