Standing On The Inside
Full House Lyrics

Standing on the outside
Being excluded from a group or activity

Looking in
Observing or longing to be a part of something

You know it's been a long time
Feeling disconnected for a prolonged period

Don't know where to begin
Uncertain where to start to reconnect

So much I wanna say
Tons of thoughts waiting to be expressed

So much I wanna do
Numerous actions ready to be taken

Friends are telling me
Getting advice from supportive peers

It's time that you broke through
Encouraging to overcome the obstacles preventing reconnection

I've been through the hard times
Experiencing challenging situations in the past

For searching souls
For people seeking answers and meaning

You know it's been a hard climb
The journey to overcome those situations was tough

From rock'n roll
Referencing the difficulties associated with the music industry

Now I feel the need in me
There's a sense of urgency to reconnect

So hard to explain
Difficult to articulate the emotions associated with the need

Now I see the diamond
Finally realizing the value of what was missed

And I wanna remain
Desiring to stay connected from now on

Standing on the inside
Being a part of something

I finally broke that night
Overcoming the obstacles preventing reconnection

Bring around a circle
Creating a sense of unity and belonging

Don't you know that it feels so fine?
Expressing how good it feels to be a part of something again

Every waking moment
All the time, day and night

I just want to sing the news
Feeling the urge to share the excitement with others

That I'm standing on the inside
Expressing that being connected feels great

I kicked away them blues
Getting rid of sadness and negativity associated with exclusion

All the phoney faces
Deceptive people who were not truly supportive

Stand in line
Waiting for their turn to get attention

All the backslappers
Sycophants who only show support when things are going well

Know my name this time
Realizing success and wanting to take credit for it

Now that I've got a life
Feeling fulfilled and happy

Now that I've opened the door
Finally reconnecting and getting involved

I won't be on the outside anymore
Finally breaking the cycle and staying connected
