Looking Out - Brandi Carlile [+ lyrics]

This is the first track off Brandi's new album, "Give Up the Ghost". Enjoy! =D

*LYRICS*

I went out looking for the answers and never left my town.
Im no good at understanding, but Im good at standing ground.
And when I asked a corner preacher I couldnt hear him for my
youth. Some people get religion some people get the truth. I
never get the truth, I never get the truth.

Chorus:
I know the darkness falls on you. And its just a point of view
When youre outside looking in you belong to someone and when
you feel like giving in and the coming of the end, like your
heart can break in two, someone loves you.

I lay this suitcase on my chest so I can feel somebodys weight.
And I lay you to rest just to feel a give and take?
I got a new interpretation and its a better point of view, you
were looking for a landslide I was looking out for you, I was
looking out for you, someones looking out for you

Chorus:
I know the darkness falls on you. And its just a point of view
When youre outside looking in you belong to someone and when
you feel like giving in and the coming of the end, like your
heart can break in two, someone loves you.

Bridge
I am afraid of crossing lines. I am afraid of flying blind.
afraid of inquiring minds. Afraid of being left behind.

I close my eyes I think of you, I take a step I think of you,
I catch my breath I think of you, I cannot rest I think of you

My one and only wrecking ball, and youre cutting through my
walls. When youre outside looking in you belong to someone and
when you feel like giving in and the coming of the end, like
your heart could break in two, someone loves you.

OMG, I've been listening to Brandi for some time, I love The Story, and now I also love this song... It's just so amazing, and it touches you deep in the heart...

OK, this woman is just so amazing in every single song she writes, covers, whatever. I know it is two totally different styles and all but lady gaga couldn't carry Brandi Carlile's guitar strap. So excited to be seeing her solo in Birmingham, AL in February.
