On the Outside
Navigating the Outsider's Journey: On the Outside by Watkins Family Hour
Lyrics
I see you there
I notice your presence
You're hanging out on the dark side
You're dwelling in the darker aspects or spaces
And I could meet you there
I could join you there
And we could see it through its bitter end
And we could persist despite its difficult conclusion
But there's that barrier
However, there's an obstacle
'Cause you think you always have to act like the man
Because you feel compelled to always exhibit stereotypical masculine behavior
Yeah, you shake my hand
You greet me courteously
Then you turn around and you go on with your life, my friend
Then you turn away and continue your own life
I always feel I'm on the outside with you
I consistently feel excluded when I'm with you
I always feel I'm on the outside with you
-Maybe because you are an outsider too
Perhaps because you, too, feel like an outsider
I know there's nothing I could ever do
I realize there's nothing I can do to change this situation
I always feel I'm on the outside
I consistently feel excluded
Did I dream you there?
Did I imagine encountering you there?
'Cause I don't remember the last time
Because I can't recall the most recent occasion
That you were really there
When you were truly present
And I've been looking through my past lives
I've been examining my previous existences
If I could see them clearer
If I could understand them more clearly
Maybe then I would know how long it's been
Maybe then I'd determine the duration since you allowed me into your life
Since you let me in
Since we comprehended our similarities
And we understood that we are so alike
And realized how much alike we are
I always feel I'm on the outside with you
I consistently feel excluded when I'm with you
I always feel I'm on the outside
I consistently feel excluded
Maybe because you are an outsider too
Perhaps because you, too, feel like an outsider
I know there's nothing I could ever do
I realize there's nothing I can do to change this situation
I always feel I'm on the outside
I consistently feel excluded
I always feel I'm on the outside
-Why won't you let me be an outsider too?
Why don't you allow me to also be an outsider?
I know there's nothing I could ever do
I realize there's nothing I can do to change this situation
I always feel I'm on the outside
I consistently feel excluded
I always feel I'm on the outside
-I always feel I'm on the outside
