Motion City Soundtrack - Indoor Living Lyrics






Outside the sidelines failing,
Harder than the martyred stars of made for tv crime
Indoor living in cardboard confines
Counts for very little when safe is just a state of mind.
I fell off the sidelines long ago,
I have no occupation, I'm just wasted for the weekend scene
So don't ask me out, don't make me try,
'Cause I don't wanna let you, I don't wanna...

I can't complain if I don't know how
It's a sad sad song with no story line
I fall to sleep in my rented room
It's not much to talk about,
I've got so much to talk about
But I don't wanna let you
I don't wanna let you down

Last call for societal knockdowns
Measure my endeavors loosely based
On someone else's song
Melodrama and a bottle of wine
Yeah, here's to self expression
Here's to everyone that's dead
Bring back the days that fell behind
I'm all wasted conversations
In the corner of an empty room
So don't ask me out
Don't make me try
'Cause I don't wanna let you
I don't wanna...

I can't complain if I don't know how
It's a sad sad song with no story line
I fall to sleep in my rented room
It's not much to talk about,
I've got so much to talk about
But I don't wanna let you
I don't wanna let you down

I can't complain if I don't know how
It's a sad sad song with no story line
I fall to sleep in my rented room
It's not much to talk about,
I've got so much to talk about
But I don't wanna let you
I don't wanna let you down

Outside the sidelines
Failing harder than the martyred
Stars of made for tv crimes
So don't ask me out
Don't make me try
'Cause I'm just gonna let you
I'm just gonna let you down

[* Note: Contrary to the popular belief this line really goes "Here's to everyone THAT'S DEAD".
It's written in CD booklet and that is how it's sung in the actual song.
At least in the album version of it.]

    Outside the sidelines failing,
    Harder than the martyred stars of made-for-TV crime
    Indoor living in cardboard confines
    Counts for very little when safe is just a state of mind
    I fell off the sidelines long ago,
    I have no occupation, I'm just wasted for the weekend scene
    So don't ask me out, don't make me try,
    'cause I don't want to let you, I don't wanna

    I can't complain if I don't know how
    Its a sad sad song with no story line
    I fall to sleep in my rented room 
    It's not much to talk about, 
    I've got so much to talk about
    But I don't want to let you 
    I don't want to let you down

    Last call for societal knockdowns
    Measure my endeavors loosely based 
    On someone else's song
    Melodrama and a bottle of wine
    Yeah, here's to self expression
    Here's to everyone that's dead
    Bring back the days that fell behind
    I'm all wasted conversations
    In the corner of an empty room
    So don't ask me out
    Don't make me try
    'cause I don't want to let you
    I don't wanna

    Outside the sidelines
    Failing harder than the martyred
    Stars of made-for-TV crimes
    So don't ask me out
    Don't make me try
    'cause I'm just gonna let you
    I'm just gonna let you down
