Inside Out Lyrics
In fairness, I was an easy sell
Though I'm embarrassed to admit it to myself
And the worst part is you know it all too well
So don't take advantage of my transparent shell, no
Though I think you know what I mean
Impossible as it may seem
And I think it's easy to see
I am awake, it's getting late
I'm in no state to be alone now
Yeah, I'm alone now
Come light the fire in my room
I'm think I'm losing all control now
I don't even know how
But I'm in your riptide
Now I'm inside out
I'm in the corner of a street café
My heart is warmer since I heard from you today
Like a shallow creek I am gleaming
No chance of keeping any secrets
Have I lost enough security
I am awake, it's getting late
I'm in no state to be alone now
Yeah, I'm alone now
Come light the fire in my room
I'm think I'm losing all control now
I don't even know how
But I'm in your riptide
Now I'm inside out
I try to hide it
I can't deny it
Now I'm inside out
You say you love me
It's all or nothing
Now I'm inside out
I am awake, it's getting late
I'm in no state to be alone now
Yeah, I'm alone now
Come light the fire in my room
I'm think I'm losing all control now
I don't even know how
But I'm in your riptide
Now I'm inside out
Though I'm embarrassed to admit it to myself
And the worst part is you know it all too well
So don't take advantage of my transparent shell, no
Impossible as it may seem
And I think it's easy to see
I'm in no state to be alone now
Yeah, I'm alone now
Come light the fire in my room
I'm think I'm losing all control now
I don't even know how
But I'm in your riptide
Now I'm inside out
My heart is warmer since I heard from you today
Like a shallow creek I am gleaming
No chance of keeping any secrets
Have I lost enough security
I'm in no state to be alone now
Yeah, I'm alone now
Come light the fire in my room
I'm think I'm losing all control now
I don't even know how
But I'm in your riptide
Now I'm inside out
I can't deny it
Now I'm inside out
You say you love me
It's all or nothing
Now I'm inside out
I'm in no state to be alone now
Yeah, I'm alone now
Come light the fire in my room
I'm think I'm losing all control now
I don't even know how
But I'm in your riptide
Now I'm inside out

I feel like the feeling of the entire song can be summed up in 3 lines:
"I am awake, it's getting late I'm in no state to be alone now Yeah, I'm alone now"
It's about being crazy about someone, and that feeling you get at night when you're trying to fall asleep, but can't because all you can think about is that person, and how much you wish they were lying next to you. They make you crazy, flip you around, turn you inside out. And you absolutely ache for them to be there with you. It's the time when it's worst for you to be alone, because you're so aware of you're aloneness, when everyone else is sleeping, and you're lying awake next to an empty space.
Love this song.
Great explanation ^ that makes complete sense I love this song :)
Agree with icesk8ngurl, couldn't of said it better myself.
it's like she wrote this song about my life.
Might I also add that this person she is pining for, is someone that she never wanted to or expect to fall for. She seems to have had her guard blown away by this person.
