walking down the streets of this town I used to know
doesn't feel like home
later in the car, watching all fade away
kinda feeling numb

oh, I used to know where I belong
but then I grew up and it all went wrong
now I don't stand out and I don't fit in
but I know my place

and I always end up on the outside of an inside joke
guess that teenage dream was just a hoax
faking smiles although it hurts so bad
to know good times always end in sad
then it's overthinking hour and I'm listening to that song
and it hits me again that I just don't belong

somewhere in my dreams we shared pages we were on
don't know why we don't
chatter in the hallways but nothing real to say
I need something more

oh, I know I'm easy to forget
in the shadows of my own regret
yeah, you mean no harm, still you're fully armed,
tolerating me

'cause you belong and I'm just on the outside of an inside joke
guess that teenage dream was just a hoax
faking smiles although it hurts so bad
to know good times always end in sad
then it's overthinking hour and I'm listening to that song
and it hits me again that I just don't belong

left too soon or came too late
I long for everything I hate
wherever I go just feels so wrong
I used to know where I belong
I'm losing you, you're losing me
you don't know what you got in me
wherever I go just feels so wrong
I'm just no more where I belong

sometimes I wish I
could go back in time
but then again, I don't,

'cause I got used to being on the outside of an inside joke
yeah, that teenage dream was such a hoax
faking smiles although it hurts so bad
to know good times always end in sad
then it's overthinking hour and I'm listening to that song
and it hits me again that I just don't belong

singing »on the outside, always looking in«,
trying to find the answers, or something in between
I feel stuck,
like I'm never enough,
on the outside of an inside joke.
