Inside and Outside
Lyrics and music written by: Susan Souza

MAKES YOU FALL back to top

There are times I admit I've been wrong
It's not so easy pretending to be so strong
and you'll need more than luck to get through this wall
What makes you stay may be the same thing that
Makes you fall, makes you fall

Measure of love we seem to work so hard
Your life my life the combination of it all
and we'll need more than luck to get through this wall
Passion makes you stay may be the same thing that
Makes you fall, makes you fall

I am there in the morning when you open up your eyes
I am here when you're lonely I never left your side
I am ready and waiting on your call
My open arms are willing when something makes you fall
Makes you fall, makes you fall

Honestly, I am willing to do it all
There's not one reason to second guess what I've done
and you'll need more than silence to convince me otherwise
You are just dealing with your feelings inside
and it will take more than anger to drive me away
It will take more than passion to make me stay
and you'll need more than luck to get through this wall
What makes you stay may be the same thing that
Makes you fall, makes you fall

STAY AWHILE back to top

There's got to be a better way, she said to me
All these feelings inside of me, what do they mean

What is it like on the outside looking in
Where do I end and you begin
Saying goodbye never solved a thing
C'mon girl won't you stay awhile
Promise me you will stay awhile

Sometimes we change from who we are
into what we will become
What we want isn't always how we end up
What does it mean?

What is it like on the outside looking in
Where do I end and you begin
Saying goodbye never solved a thing
C'mon girl won't you stay awhile
Promise me you will stay awhile


THE CALL back to top

I found love and it filled me up, up, up
All the spaces left no traces that's the way it was
And now it's not that you're not enough
Because you're more than I ever thought I deserved
Much more than I can express in words
Don't you worry yourself now

The call has come and I'm going to take this one
I will rise to the sun and do more than
I've ever, ever dreamed of
The call has come and I'm going to take this one

The fear is gone but still it wants to show it's face
Wanting me to give up what I truly know is the
Very best part of me, I won't let go, I won't lose my place
All I ever wanted was to truly know love
To feel what is real the power of not giving up
Don't you worry yourself now

Hold on tight girl
Hold on and don't let go
Don't let go in what you believe in so much
Hold on tight girl
Hold on and don't let go, It's your call so take it

WILDFLOWERS back to top

Images of memories making me feel the times past
They seem to stay with me
Wanting more than I can give back
It's as if what I'm living
Is a vague and distant dream
With colors sounds and shadows circling around me

Wild flowers pick and choose
Wild flowers I beg of you
Growing wild they came
Wild flowers you can't tame

Words have more meaning
When you carry them in your heart
The weight of the world can't break
What has already been torn apart
It's as if what I'm living
Is a mixed up off screen scene
The players are all parts and pieces of me

That wasn't you girl, you can still be true girl
Remember the way you came into this world
So pure with opportunity waiting
With just the right sunlight, with just the
Right amount of rain, you are still beautiful
You started off so profoundly

Wild flowers pick and choose
Wild flowers I beg of you
Growing wild they came
Wild flowers you can't tame

YOU ARE THE ONE back to top

I can't believe the words you are saying
They just roll right off your tongue
All these games I am willingly playing
They make me come undone

But, you are the one for me, you are the one
You are the one for me it's true
So, what you doing? What you doing to me?

I can't believe what I am hearing
I should just turn and walk away
How can you say it didn't mean nothing
Your body, your breath, your kiss, it's not me

But you are the one for me, you are the one
You are the one for me it's true
So, what you doing? What you doing to me?

Tell me you're sorry, over and over and over and over again
Tell me you need me, I'm all you need
Yes I'm all you need in the end
Tell me you'll hate her, over and over
and over and over again
Tell me you want me even if you have to pretend

Because you are the one, you are the one
You are the one for me it's true
So, why did you do it? Why did you do that to me?

Because
You are the one for me it's true

SENSE OF IT back to top

I wish time would hurry up
Because I want to grow up
I've got plans to experience and learn to make sense of it
Sense of it all, it all, it all
Sense of it all, it all, it all

Doesn't come so easily
Like coloring between the lines
Got plans to live in a house up on the hillside
And learn to make sense of it, sense of it all
Sense of it all, it all, it all
Sense of it all, it all, it all

My heart hangs over the edge
What I need, what I want, what I need and what I said
learn to make sense of it, sense of it all
learn to make sense of it, sense of it all

So this is reality
You never knew how easy it use to be
Time has its effects on you
Time changes everything

I wish time would listen once
I wish it would do what needs to be done
Slow done and stop rushing through
Because my dreams are not yet true

Learn to make sense of it, sense of it all


WON'T LET GO back to top

Maybe you'll let go
Let go of what you're holding onto so tightly
Release could be the freedom
The freedom that you're looking for but you
Won't let go

In times of clarity
That aren't always with me
What I've done and what I believe are 2 different things
And it's not fair to say
What if there was another way
What I've done seems to be standing in my way

Maybe you'll let go
Let go of what you're holding onto so tightly
Release could be the freedom
The freedom that you're looking for but you
Won't let go

I've always believed in destiny
What will be is bound to be
What I've decided and what I believe are 2 different things

Tell me my friend when will it come to an end
You know there's nothing more I can say
It's all on you

Maybe you'll let go
Let go of what you're holding onto so tightly
Release could be the freedom
The freedom that you're looking for but you
Won't let go

HELD HER back to top

There is no way you're getting away
I'm wondering just where you plan to go
Who said it gets easier didn't stay around
long enough to know
Your hearts racing, tears are falling
and you're ready to go

And I held her, and I held her
And I held her so close

I'm just asking because I need to be sure
There's no newness, no pretence
I want it all and nothing more
Who said it gets easier didn't stay around
long enough to know
Now your crying and I'm vying for the love that once was

And I held her, and I held her
And I held her so close

When we are in each others arms
What does it feel like
What does it feel like to let go
Now you're crying and I'm vying for your love

And I held her, and I held her
And I held her so close

CAN WE back to top

There's no way you can erase this
You can't deny part of your life
Every memory has a reason
Like every wrong has a right

You can pretend to be someone
While losing site of yourself
Every turn has an outcome
What you need is not for someone else

Can we find what we have lost
Can we take back the pain we have caused
Can we experience the first time, even after the first time
Does it make a difference?

Can we find our way (tell me please)
Can we find our place (will we ever learn)
Can we find our way (it's our destiny)
Can we, Can we, Can we

There's no way you can ignore this
It's staring you right in the face
Each moment has brought you forward
and every choice that you made

Can we find what we have lost
Can we take back the pain we have caused
Can we experience the first time, even after the first time
Does it make a difference?

Can we find our way (tell me please)
Can we find our place (will we ever learn)
Can we find our way (it's our destiny)
Can we, Can we, Can we

INSIDE AND OUTSIDE back to top

I have dreamt of you too long
I have waited I have long. I can't take it
I have changed my life for you
Options lost, less to choose. I can't fake it

When will this dream end
When will I feel normal again
When will my outsides match what's inside of me
Inside and outside of me

Try to ignore but you stay
There is no getting away. I can't take this
I have rearranged my life for you
Not too much more I'm willing to do. Can I make it

When will this dream end
When will I feel normal again
When will my outsides match what's inside of me
Inside and outside of me
