Outside
KIDZ BOP Kids Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Look at what you've done
Stand still, falling away from me
When it takes so long
Fire is out, what do you want to be?
I'm holding on
Myself was never enough for me
Gotta be so strong
There's a power in what you do
Now every other day I've been watching you

Oh oh, oh oh I'll show you what it feels like
Now I'm on the outside, oh oh
We did everything right
Now I'm on the outside,
Oh I'll show you what it feels like
Now I'm on the outside
Oh we did everything right
Now I'm on the outside

So you give me no reason
For me to stay close to you tell me what others do
How are we still breathing
It's never for us to choose
I'll be the strength in you

I'm holding on
Myself was never enough for me
Gotta be so strong
There's a power in what you do
Now every other day I've been watching you, oh oh oh oh

I'll show you what it feels like
Now I'm on the outside
Oh oh, we did everything right
Now I'm on the outside
Oh oh I'll show you what it feels like
Now I'm on the outside
Oh oh we did everything right
Now I'm on the outside

I'll show you what it feels like Now I'm on the outside
I'll show you what it feels like, oh oh





Ah, ah ah, I'll show you what it feels like Now I'm on the outside
Ah, ah ah, we did everything right now I'm on the outside
