Conor Oberst - Standing On The Outside Looking in lyrics

Standing on the outside looking in Don't feel any different it's the way it's always been In the world the headless well dressed mannequins You're always standing on the outside looking in I remember when you taught me how to bathe In the roadside motel bathtub I watched you shave your legs You swore that we would take this to our graves I remember when you taught me how to bathe You said only I can make ya happy But I'm not gonna tell you how I told us to last forever Only now, only now There's a place she longs to be she'll never go Took a picture at the window with the camera on her phone Got off one more time to put back on her clothes There's a place she longs to be she'll never go Now I'm standing on the outside looking in In a world of paper tigers and imaginary friends It's a shame I can't be bothered to pretend When I'm standing at the outside looking in I told you how I planned on dying But you know I always joke around I'm up for never saying never At least for now, at least for now Because I could never make you happy But I know just how to calm you down We don't have to see the future Only now, only now
