Dennis DeYoung - Outside Looking in Again lyrics

It's New Year's Eve again I fear the resolution One more year awaits by the door Rumors and regrets of no win situations Standing here tonight I'm so unsure Only yesterday I greeted each tomorrow Hungry for the chance to touch the sky But even in the best of times I was all alone Facing the crossroads Trying' to find my way back home Outside looking in again Outside sails against the wind All the time I wasted all the scattered dreams All the precious moments they keep staring Back at me Ten years come and gone Like blowing out a candle The fire dies out but smoke still fills the air Restless with the time I've wondered in the waiting How could I have been so unaware Now I'm outside looking in again Outside sails against the wind We had something special I tried to make you see And when it finally ended I know you never thought you'd be Outside looking in once again I've tried to deny it, but what can I do I look in the mirror Lord I know it's true Outside looking in again Outside sails against the wind All at once it's New Year's Eve And every sign keeps on telling me I'm outside looking in once again
