Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I was always on the out
Now I'm on the inside
Waiting for a wave in doubt
Feeling kind of untied
Betting on a pagan cow
Betting in the sunshine
I was always on the out
Now I'm on the inside

I was always out of place
Now I'm only in time
Falling out of outerspace
Swimming at the glen, I'm
Looking towards the palisades
Fading in the sunshine
I was always out of place
Now I'm only in time

Now I know!
Well I know - oh - oh - oh!
Well I know!

I was always in the wrong
Now I'm only on time
Bringin' all my luck along
Only in the meantime
Singin' someone else's song
Fading in the sunshine
I was always in the wrong
Now I'm only in time

I was never really born
I was only sleeping
Wakin' in the early morn'
Only to believe it
Finding all the ways I've worn
Fading in the sunshine
I was never really born
I was only sleeping

Now I know!
Well I know - oh - oh - oh!
Well I know!

I was always on the out
Now I'm on the inside
Waiting for a wave in doubt
Feeling kind of untied
Betting on a pagan cow
Betting in the sunshine
I was always on the out
Now I'm on the inside

I was always out of place
Now I'm only in time
Falling out of outerspace
Swimming at the glen, I'm
Looking towards the palisades
Fading in the sunshine
I was always out of place
Now I'm only in time

I was always out of place
Now I'm only in time
Falling out of outerspace
Swimming at the glen, I'm
Looking towards the palisades
Fading in the sunshine
I was always out of place
Now I'm only in time

I was always out of place
Now I'm only in time
Falling out of outerspace
Swimming at the glen, I'm
Looking towards the palisades
Fading in the sunshine
I was always out of place
Now I'm only in time

Now I know!




Well I know - oh - oh - oh!
Well I know!
