Outside My Window

Outside my window I know that she's waiting Somewhere out there in the night Just like me, she's got to be anticipating For the time, the place, the person to be right Outside my window Right outside my window Outside my window Mom won’t be home from work ‘till 2:00 am, Dad’s gone tonight and won’t be back again. We’d turn the TV up, but it doesn’t have any sound, So I go to the one place, I can find my ground Outside my window, Right outside my window. Outside my window I tell myself she’s somewhere out there too, Somewhere dreaming the same dream that I do. Holding on through the noise and the ride, Waiting for someone to be by her side. Outside my window, Right outside my window. Outside my window My oldest brother left, the rest of us are tired, The walls are thin and hope has long expired I stay inside ‘cause outside’s far from safe, Nights like this, such a shame, such a waste Outside my window, Right outside my window. Outside my window And I swear I hear her whisper back, A beacon in a place gone dark and black. Maybe she’s lonely or maybe she’s just scared, Maybe she’s just wishing somebody cared. Outside my window, Right outside my window. Outside my window It’s so cold, I try so hard to make her be Not a distant mist of dying fantasies I know she’s out there and she’s looking too Just give it time and we’ll both make it come true Outside my window I know that she’s waiting, Somewhere out there in the night. And even when our whole world is shaking, I’ll hold on to that little light. Outside my window, Right outside my window. Outside my window Outside my window Outside my window
