Outskirts - Small Black

I stood and watched

Longer than I should

What was I waiting for?

Get in, get out

Maybe take a glance

But for Christ’s sake

Don’t linger there

They’ll see you stare

I’m on the outskirts

Looking in

I’m on the outskirts

Looking in

Too many day and nights

Have been spent

In plain sight

What’s the maximum I’m

Willing to give?

What’s the maximum I’m

Going to be happy with?

Call Lottie

Ask for the news

But there’s no point

You already knew

See the cracks

In following the facts

Put yourself on notice

Put yourself away

On the outskirts

Looking in

On the outskirts

Always been

What’s the maximum I’m

Willing to give?

What’s the maximum I’m

Going to be happy with?

What’s the maximum I’m

Willing to give?

What’s the maximum I’m

Going to be happy with?
