Inside Out
Ellie Lawson Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

It doesn't really matter Boy/where we are/in the car or
Or in the rain/when I'm with you/you
Could be all alone or with my friends
Walking and a talking I'm still with you/you

If you lost your way/I wouldn't stray
You would find me here beside you
Where I belong

If you lost your way/Everything you owned
You'd still have me

This is the real thing/this is the real life
This loving that I feel
Comes from the inside
It's not the other way
No matter what they say
No matter what you do
You know I'm loving you
From the inside out/inside out

However many years been searching for
Open doors that close again/when I needed you/you
Never really knew how much to give/how to live
And if for real/you needed me/me

If you left this world/and I was alone
I would know for sure that I had given my all
If you left this world/everything you had
I'd know for sure

This is the real thing/this is the real life
This loving that I feel/comes from the inside
It's not the other way/no matter what they say
No matter what you do/you know I'm loving you
From the inside out/inside out

I'll path my way from the inside
I'll find my way from the inside
Some come with a plan from the outside

But I'll find my way from the inside
From the inside out, from the inside out

Even without your possessions, I would still have the memories and love we shared

I'll pave my way from the inside, I'll find my way from the inside
I will rely on my inner strength and love to find my path in life

Some come with a plan from the outside, but I'll find my way from the inside
Others may have external plans or sources guiding them, but I will trust in myself and my love to guide me

From the inside out, from the inside out
My love and strength come from within me and will guide me through life
