Lyrics

I've learned to slam on the brake

Before I even turn the key

Before I make the mistake

Before I lead with the worst of me

Give them no reason to stare

No slipping up if you slip away

So I got nothing to share

No, I got nothing to say

Step out, step out of the sun

If you keep getting burned

Step out, step out of the sun

Because you've learned, because you've learned

On the outside always looking in

Will I ever be more than I've always been?

'Cause I'm tap-tap-tapping on the glass

I'm waving through a window

I try to speak, but nobody can hear

So I wait around for an answer to appear

While I'm watch-watch-watching people pass

I'm waving through a window

Can anybody see? Is anybody waving

Back at me?

We start with stars in our eyes

We start believing that we belong

But every sun doesn't rise

And no one tells you where you went wrong

Step out, step out of the sun

If you keep getting burned

Step out, step out of the sun

Because you've learned, because you've learned

On the outside always looking in

Will I ever be more than I've always been?

'Cause I'm tap-tap-tapping on the glass

Waving through a window

I try to speak, but nobody can hear

So I wait around for an answer to appear

While I'm watch-watch-watching people pass

Waving through a window

Can anybody see? Is anybody waving

When you're falling in a forest and there's nobody around

Do you ever really crash, or even make a sound?

When you're falling in a forest and there's nobody around

Do you ever really crash, or even make a sound?

When you're falling in a forest and there's nobody around

Do you ever really crash, or even make a sound?

When you're falling in a forest and there's nobody around

Do you ever really crash, or even make a sound?

Did I even make a sound?

Did I even make a sound?

It's like I never made a sound

Will I ever make a sound?

On the outside always looking in

Will I ever be more than I've always been?

'Cause I'm tap-tap-tapping on the glass

Waving through a window

I try to speak, but nobody can hear

So I wait around for an answer to appear

While I'm watch-watch-watching people pass

Waving through a window

Can anybody see? Is anybody waving

Back at me?

Is anybody waving? Waving? Waving?

Whoa, whoa
