- The Outside LyricsI didn't know what I would find
When I went looking for a reason, I know
I didn't read between the lines
And, baby, I've got nowhere to go
I tried to take the road less traveled by
But nothing seems to work the first few times
Am I right?
So how can I ever try to be better?
Nobody ever lets me in
I can still see you, this ain't the best view
On the outside looking in
I've been a lot of lonely places
I've never been on the outside
You saw me there, but never knew
That I would give it all up to be
A part of this, a part of you
And now it's all too late so you see
You could've helped if you had wanted to
But no one notices until it's too
Late to do anything
How can I ever try to be better?
Nobody ever lets me in
I can still see you, this ain't the best view
On the outside looking in
I've been a lot of lonely places
I've never been on the outside
Oh, yeah
How can I ever try to be better?
Nobody ever lets me in
And I can still see you, this ain't the best view
On the outside looking in
I've been a lot of lonely places
I've never been on the outside
When I went looking for a reason, I know
I didn't read between the lines
And, baby, I've got nowhere to go
I tried to take the road less traveled by
But nothing seems to work the first few times
Am I right?
So how can I ever try to be better?
Nobody ever lets me in
I can still see you, this ain't the best view
On the outside looking in
I've been a lot of lonely places
I've never been on the outside
You saw me there, but never knew
That I would give it all up to be
A part of this, a part of you
And now it's all too late so you see
But no one notices until it's too
Late to do anything
How can I ever try to be better?
Nobody ever lets me in
I can still see you, this ain't the best view
On the outside looking in
I've been a lot of lonely places
I've never been on the outside
Oh, yeah
How can I ever try to be better?
Nobody ever lets me in
And I can still see you, this ain't the best view
On the outside looking in
I've been a lot of lonely places
I've never been on the outside

When we dive into the story the lyrics are telling, the Taylor Swift song 'The Outside' is all about the feelings of solitude and the need to belong. The words tell about a person who is at the edge of the world looking in and who feels invisible and inaudible but still has the desire to be in that world. Being 'on the outside looking in' is a metaphor that illustrates the situation of being excluded or feeling isolated, which is a powerful representation of the universal human need for acceptance and understanding.

Taylor, I heart ALL of your lyrics, but my fave lyrics are from the song Invisible. I can totally relate when you totally KNOW that you're made for someone and they don't.

Taylor, I'm so glad I got to see you in concert last year. You and your songs showed me that just because you are a quiet person who uses their brain it doesn't mean you are unloveable. Thank you!
