looking out

brandi carlile

i went out looking for the answers and never left my town. i'm no good at understanding

but i'm good at standing ground. and when i asked a corner preacher i couldn't hear him for my

youth. some people get religion some people get the truth. i

never get the truth

i never get the truth. i know the darkness pulls on you. and it's just a point of view

when you're outside looking in you belong to someone and when

you feel like giving in and the coming of the end

like your

heart can break in two

someone loves you. i lay this suitcase on my chest so i can feel somebody's weight. and i lay you to rest just to feel a give and take?

i got a new interpretation and it's a better point of view

you

were looking for a landslide i was looking out for you

i was

looking out for you

someone's looking out for you

i know the darkness pulls on you. and it's just a point of view

when you're outside looking in you belong to someone and when

you feel like giving in and the coming of the end

like your

heart can break in two

someone loves you. i am afraid of crossing lines. i am afraid of flying blind. afraid of inquiring minds. afraid of being left behind. i close my eyes i think of you

i take a step i think of you

i catch my breath i think of you

i cannot rest i think of you

my one and only wrecking ball

and you're crashing through my

walls. when you're outside looking in you belong to someone and

when you feel like giving in and the coming of the end

like

your heart could break in two

someone loves you.
