Everywhere I see the signs   Pointin' one direction   No more twists or crooked turns   Leavin' room for doubt   Where I used to take the time   For quiet and reflection   Now I only hear the noise   Of what I am without      I see them walkin' hand in hand   And my eyes just want to linger   On those golden wedding bands   Wrapped around their fingers   By the time I turn away   I feel it once again   I'm back in this familiar place   Outside lookin' in      Baby all the tears between us   Couldn't fill the spaces   And all the words we grasped at   They just fell away   I kept waiting on forgiveness   To fix the broken places   But nothing even like it   Ever came my way      And tonight I drove around   And the street came up before me   I took a turn and then I found   This old house comin' toward me   Heard the sound a heart must make   When a memory's cavin' in   Oh baby, what a hungry place?   Outside lookin' in      It's the hardest kind of need   That never knows a reason   Are we such a lonely breed   Or just born in a lonely season?      May be it's all in the eyes   It's where the reckoning begins   It's where we linger like a sigh   It's where we long to be pulled in   It's where we learn to say goodbye   Without saying anything   Just standin' on the borderlines   Outside looking in
