lyrics

On the outside looking in
What a mess that I have made
Everything that I begin
Eventually decays

Please forgive my fumbling advance
As I try to wash these ashes off my hands

Maybe it's not so bad
There's a fire to keep us warm
Just not inside our hearts
We'll just have to wait our turn

Everything I want to say
Is trapped inside my head
Maybe I'm better off this way
Watching where I tread

Just when I think it's on the mend
I realize you're playing with my head

Maybe it's not so bad
There's a fire to keep us warm
Just not inside our hearts
We'll just have to wait our turn
Turn

Don't think that I”m sitting here
Waiting by the phone
The dirt has been packed down on this
So often traveled road

Just when I think it's on the mend
I realize you're playing with my head

Maybe it's not so bad
There's a fire to keep us warm
Just not inside our hearts
We'll just have to wait our turn
