From these cliffs we can see far
There are ships set sail for places yet explored
There are footprintless places in our view
I am standing here alone next to you
And even as the sun goes down
And you put away your crown
And there's nothing left to hide
I'm the one on the outside
There's a peril if we step
Too far forward, too far back
Is freedom falling or standing on firm ground?
I never know when you're around
And even as the sun goes down
And you put away your crown
And there's nothing left to hide
I'm the one on the outside
We haven't been a mile from home
But we both know why you've flown
Like the birds that circle here
Until they sense the end is near
And even as the sun goes down
And you put away your crown
And there's nothing left to hide
I'm the one on the outside
