Outside Lyrics

[Verse 1]
We let them knock like crazy
'Cause I'd not seen her in months
And she knew how to save me
For the craic though carried on

And I know I've pushed boundaries sometimes
But she knows she's worse
I've missed this, I was bound to

[Pre-Chorus 1]
And I just came along for the ride
And I tried my best to
Keep away from you

But you just stepped off of a flight
And now you beg for my company
'Cause you know I'll give it you all

Tell your sister to wait

[Chorus 1]
'Cause there's no one in the life I knew
That got through to me
But when you talk about nothing
You tend to lose me
'Cause there's nothing in the life I knew
That got through to me
But when you talk about nothing
Yeah, that's when you lose me

I used to carry you through town
You used to smother me in lippy
Now if we ever get an hour together

[Verse 2]
Let them talk behind us
'Cause I'd not seen her in months
And they knew how to find us
For the craic though carry on

And I know I push boundaries at times
But she's just as bad
I've missed this, I was bound to

[Pre-Chorus 2]
And I just came along for the ride
And I tried my best to
Keep away from you

Tell your sister to wait
See Catfish and the Bottlemen Live
Get tickets as low as $55
[Chorus 2]
'Cause there's no one in the life I knew
That got through to me
But when you talk about nothing
You tend to lose me

'Cause there's nothing in the life I knew
That got through to me
But when you scream about nothing
Yeah, that's when you lose me

[Post-Chorus 2]
I used to carry you through town
You used to smother me in lippy
Now if we ever get an hour together
It's like I'm on the outside

[Pre-Chorus 1]
I just come along for the ride
And I tried my best to
Keep away from you
But you just stepped off of a flight
And now you beg for my company
'Cause you know I'll give it you all

Tell your sister to wait
[Chorus 3]
'Cause there's no one in the life I knew
That got through to me
But when you talk about nothing
You tend to lose me

'Cause there's nothing in the life I knew
That got through to me
But when you're kicking off at nothing
Yeah, that's when you lose me

[Post-Chorus 3]
I used to carry you through town
You used to smother me in lippy
Now if we ever get an hour together
You act like you miss me
