Lyrics Brandi Carlile

Brandi Carlile

Looking Out

I went out looking for the answers

And never left my town

I'm no good at understanding

But I'm good at standing ground

And when I asked a corner preacher

I couldn't hear him for my youth

Some people get religion

Some people get the truth

I never get the truth

I never get the truth

I know the darkness pulls on you

But it's just a point of view

When you're outside looking in

You belong to someone

And when you feel like giving in

Or the coming of the end

Like your heart could break in two

Someone loves you

I laid this suitcase on my chest

So I could feel somebody's weight

And I laid you to rest

Just to feel the give and take

I got a new interpretation

And it's a better point of view

While you were looking for a landslide

I was looking out for you

I was looking out for you

Someone's looking out for you

I know the darkness pulls on you

But it's just a point of view

When you're outside looking in

You belong to someone

And when you feel like giving in

Or the coming of the end

Like your heart could break in two

Someone loves you

I am afraid of crossing lines

I am afraid of flying blind

Afraid of inquiring minds

Afraid of being left behind

I close my eyes, I think of you

I take a step, I think of you

I catch my breath, I think of you

I cannot rest, I think of you

My one and only wrecking ball

And you're crashing through my walls

When you're outside looking in

You belong to someone

And when you feel like giving in

Or the coming of the end

Like your heart could break in two

Someone loves you, yeah
