Verse 1 Always had a roof above me Always paid the rent I never set foot inside a tent Couldn't build a fire to save my life I lied about being the outdoor type Verse 2 I never slept out underneath the stars The closest that i come to that was one time my car Broke down for an hour in the suburbs at night I lied about being the outdoor type Bridge To scared to let you know I knew what you've been looking for I lied until I fit the bill God bless the great indoors I lied about being the outdoor type I've never owned a sleeping bag let alone a mountain Bike Verse 3 I can't go away with you on a rock climbing weekend What if something's on TV and its never shown again It's just as well I'm not invited I'm afraid of heights I lied about being the outdoor type Finish Never learned to swim can't grow a beard or even fight I lied about being the outdoor type
