I'm not a tree
Some redwood in a park
Someone who takes roots
Inside a big backyard
If home is where the heart is
Then mine no longer beats
To my inconsistencies
And ultimate defeat

Stay on the outside (stay on the outside)
This place wasn't built for me
Stay on the outside (stay on the outside)
Stay on the outside

Now I'm suffocating
In this world we created
I hope that you notice
I won't be coming back around
Another day spent on the floor
And endless facade that I'll have to ignore
We live our real lives and we want
We want nothing more

Stay on the outside (stay on the outside)
Maybe out here is more free
Stay on the outside (stay on the outside)
Stay on the outside

This place wasn't built for me
Now you know so you can see

Stay on the outside (stay on the outside)
This place wasn't built for me
Stay on the outside (stay on the outside)
Stay on the outside

So stay on the outside (stay on the outside)
Maybe out here is more free
Stay on the outside (stay on the outside)
Stay on the outside
