From the outside looking in

I see two lovers on the boardwalk

On the first warm day of spring holding hands

But when I look again

There is something missing from this picture

That I don't understand 

From the outside looking in everybody sees

A couple so in love, yeah that's you and me.



But from the inside looking out

Everything is different baby

And I can't figure out 

If you can even see it maybe

You still believe what everybody sees

From the outside looking in



Nothing's new; I had a good day 

Love you too. that's what we talk about 

We just settle in 

Here inside my head this voice is screaming

But no words are coming out 

From the outside looking in you're close enough to touch

I'm sitting right beside you, baby, missing you so much 



From the inside looking out 

I'm watching our love slip away 

And I can't figure out

How to reach you. what to say 

Oh it's killing me 

What nobody sees 

From the outside looking in



You know I really love you

I wish that you could see 

Love ain't just a habit, baby 

This isn't how it has to be



'Cause from the inside looking out 

We've still got a lot worth saving 

Let's find each other now 

Before we throw it all away 

Oh, I still believe we can go back again 

Be the lovers we see 

From the outside looking in
