Submission for the Lyrical Singer/Songwriter Contest. Last song from 11/30/18 set at the Vinyl Lounge.
Lyrics inspired by the Kurt Vonnegut quote "I want to stand as close to the edge as I can without going over. Out on the edge you see all the kinds of things you can't see from the center."
Lyrics:
Well you say we’re on the same team
But your “we” never includes “me”
I’m on the outside way out here
You never even hear if when I cheer
But on the side is quite a view
Away from the game and far from you
On the edge I see the truth
I see straight inside you
See, I’m on the outside looking in
I’ll never be one of the cool kids
I’ve got people that I love
But I’ll never be good enough
Don’t let me drift away in the mainstream
Float away on mediocrity
Same thoughts, same style same words
Treading shallow water, it’s so absurd
But on the shore is quite a view
Away from the current and far from you
Cause on the edge I see the truth
I see straight inside you
See, I’m on the outside looking in
I’ll never be one of the cool kids
I’ve got people that I love
But I’ll never be good enough
I’ll go as close to the edge as I can without going over
But if I fall there’s no one left to save me
I’m a lone soldier
See, I’m on the outside looking in
I’ll never be one of the cool kids
I’ve got people that I love
But I’ll never be good enough
