Outside In Lyrics

I wanna be on the sidelines looking in
I wanna be the quiet one in the group
When I have something to say everyone listens
Cause I'll hardly speak at all
I wanna be on the outside of the looking glass
Always looking in, Cause I'll never say a word

Let me out, let me in
Gotta get out, I'm getting in

I wanna be in the center of attention
People laugh at things I say
My voice is louder than everybodys in the room
So they dont, have a choice anyway

Let me out, let me in
Gotta get out, I'm getting in

I don't know where I am on the attention status
But I'm happy where I am

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

this kinda reminds me of what i want to be sometimes....quiet one time, then when everybody is listening to me and i'm cool and all that. then i realize when it says.."i dont know where i am on the attention status, but i'm happy where i am"..reminds me that i am happy where i am.
