[Intro] /     /       [Verse 1] I’ve learned to slam on the brake Before I even turn the key Before I make the mistake Before I lead with the worst of me [Verse 2] Give them no reason to stare No slipping up if you slip away So I got nothing to share No I got nothing to say [Pre-Chorus] Step out step out of the sun If you keep getting burned Step out step out of the sun Because you’ve learned because you’ve learned [Chorus] On the outside always looking in Will I ever be more than I’ve always been? ’Cause I’m tap tap tapping on the glass I’m waving through a window I try to speak but nobody can hear So I wait around for an answer to appear While I’m watch watch watching people pass I’m waving through a window oh     Can anybody see is anybody waving back at me?            [Verse 3] We start with stars in our eyes We start believing that we belong But every sun doesn’t rise And no one tells you where you went wrong [Pre-Chorus] Step out step out of the sun If you keep getting burned Step out step out of the sun Because you’ve learned because you’ve learned [Chorus] On the outside always looking in Will I ever be more than I’ve always been? ’Cause I’m tap tap tapping on the glass Waving through a window I try to speak but nobody can hear So I wait around for an answer to appear While I’m watch watch watching people pass Waving through a window oh Can anybody see is anybody waving? [Bridge] When you’re falling in a forest and there’s nobody around Do you ever really crash or even make a sound? When you’re falling in a forest and there’s nobody around Do you ever really crash or even make a sound? When you’re falling in a forest and there’s nobody around Do you ever really crash or even make a sound? When you’re falling in a forest and there’s nobody around Do you ever really crash or even make a sound? Did I even make a sound? Did I even make a sound? It’s like I never made a sound Will I ever make a sound? (shift to Capo 3rd Fret) [Chorus] On the outside always looking in Will I ever be more than I’ve always been? ’Cause I’m tap tap tapping on the glass Waving through a window I try to speak but nobody can hear So I wait around for an answer to appear While I’m watch watch watching people pass Waving through a window oh Can anybody see is anybody waving back at me? (Ooh) [Outro] Is anybody waving? Waving waving whoa-oh whoa-oh-oh-oh [Outro]     /

À propos de la chanson

La chanson évoque la difficulté de se sentir connecté aux autres malgré un désir profond de faire partie du monde. Elle parle de ce sentiment d'être en dehors, de regarder la vie des autres sans vraiment y participer, comme si l'on était derrière une vitre. Le protagoniste lutte avec ses incertitudes et ses peurs, se demandant s'il pourra jamais être plus que ce qu'il est actuellement. Le contexte tourne autour de l'isolement et du besoin de validation, avec une exploration des espoirs déçus et des rêves brisés. La mélodie transmet cette mélancolie tout en soulignant l'importance d'être vu et reconnu, même dans les moments d'angoisse et d'incertitude. C'est une réflexion sur la quête d'appartenance dans un monde où l'on se sent souvent invisible.
