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, but it's just a point of view
When you're outside looking in, you belong to someone
And when you feel like giving in, or the coming of the end
Like your heart could break in two, someone loves you
I laid a suitcase on my chest, so I could feel somebody's weight
And I laid you to rest, just to feel the give and take
I got a new interpretation, and it's a better point of view
While 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 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, or the coming of the end
Like your heart could break in two, someone loves you
