Standing On The Outside Looking In
Conor Oberst

Standing on the outside looking in

Don't feel any different it's the way it's always been

In the world the headless well dressed mannequins

You're always standing on the outside looking in


I remember when you taught me how to bathe

In the roadside motel bathtub

I watched you shave your legs

You swore that we would take this to our graves

I remember when you taught me how to bathe


You said only I can make ya happy

But I'm not gonna tell you how

I told us to last forever

Only now, only now


There's a place she longs to be she'll never go

Took a picture at the window with the camera on her phone

Got off one more time to put back on her clothes


There's a place she longs to be she'll never go


Now I'm standing on the outside looking in

In a world of paper toggles and imaginary friends

It's a shame I can't be bothered to pretend

When I'm standing at the outside looking in


I told you how I planned on dying

But you know I always joke around

I'm up for never saying never

At least for now, at least for now


Because I could never make you happy

But I know just how to calm you down

We don't have to see the future

Only now, only now
