Name: Outsider
Duration: P00H04M52S
Description: This is where I go a bit deeper. I wanted to explore how people get hurt, hold back, fight back, and get through life when they feel different, are different, or perceived differently and commonly distanced by others. Leona did a great interpretation of my lyrics. Her voice just suited the tension and strident ends to the verses and choruses, particularly where the brass is in full flight.

lyrics

They think you’re crazy
Saw you hanging with me and havin’ fun
They’ll say don’t trust me
Outsiders like me tend to freak and run

They’ll never know
The feelings I keep so deep in my soul
And things untold
Hold on to me tight and I’ll let it all out

Don’t try to change me
I tell you right now, it will all go wrong
Don’t let me unnerve you
Outsiders like me can fall in love

You can ask I don’t mind
And all will be fine, just never tell
End this curse of mine
You can ask I don’t mind
And all will be fine, just never tell

They’ll never know
The feelings I keep so deep in my soul
And things untold
Hold on to me tight and I’ll let it all out
