Outsiders

I usually find when I am automatically obsessed with a song, it is usually because it is an awesome song.  Sometimes, however, I find myself obsessed with a song because I immediately connect with the lyrics.  Latest obsession, "The outsiders" by Needtobreathe.  I think living in Peruvian country gives me a little more tolerance for American country (i'm talking about country, like fields and twang country).

Lyrics:

Shortfalls and little sins

Close calls where no one wins

stand tall we're running thin

I'm wearing thin

Oh, why are we keeping score

Cause if you're not laughing

who is laughing now

I've been wondering

if we stop sinking

could we stand our ground

and through everything we've learned

we've finally come to terms

we are the outsiders

oh, we are the outsiders

I'm not leaving without a fight

I got my holster around my side

just cause I'm wrong it don't make you right

no, you ain't right

Oh, why are we keeping score

Cause if you're not laughing

who is laughing now

i've been wondering if we stop sinking

could we stand our ground

and through everything we've learned

we've finally come to terms

we are the outsiders

Oh, we are the outsiders

On the outside

you're free to roam

on the outside

we found a home

on the outside 

there's more to see

on the outside

we choose to be
