Outside

[Verse 1]
Aimless and bruised
Too much life slips through my hands
Scared and confused
Too much time beyond my grasp
A thousand times I gave pieces of my heart away
Knowing I'd have nothing in return
So now I hide, shivering
Afraid to let you lead me through that door

[Chorus 1]
Outside, outside, beneath the open sky
Outside, outside, I can't hide from all the light
Outside, outside, exposed before your eyes
I'm afraid to go outside

[Verse 2]
How can I continue to take, then turn away?
From love, you set so warmly in the night
The sun and moon and stars like grace await
A smiling face who takes the plate of blood and bread
The price was paid, the price was paid

[Chorus 1]
Outside, outside, beneath the open sky
Outside, outside, I can't hide from all the light
Outside, outside, exposed before your eyes
I'm afraid to go outside

[Bridge]
You won't let my heart hold on to
Secrets and the darkest parts that keep me inside
With things that I've done, lead me

[Chorus 2]
Outside, outside, beneath the open sky
Outside, outside, I can breathe in all your light
Outside, outside, exposed before your eyes
I am free to go outside
