Outlier Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I pick out one of my faces
Walk right out my door
Take it 'round all the places
That I've been before
Have me some conversation
I tell you that less is more
I tell you that less is more

[Chorus]
Everything always seems fine
When you look from the outside
Everyone's having the time
Of their life from the outside
You'd never know something ain't right
When you look from the outside
When you look from the outside
When you look from the outside

[Verse 2]
Tell me if you can see it
The trouble that's on my mind
Nobody would believe it
Be leaving this all behind
I'm hoping it's not contagious
Living inside your light
Living inside your light
[Chorus]
Everything always seems fine
When you look from the outside
Everyone's having the time
Of their life from the outside
You'd never know something ain't right
When you look from the outside
When you look from the outside
When you look from the outside

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

What did Bob Moses say about "Outlier"?
Genius Answer

“Keeping in line with stories of desire in the modern age, this song was inspired by social media’s impact on our mental health. Trying to connect with people via your phone can be very isolating. People only show you what they want to show you and the grass is always greener on the other side. No one wants to show you the bad days or when they are down. It can make one feel like their alone in their struggles. The beat was inspired by one of our favorite producers, Four Tet…he always makes these amazingly quirky beats that just hit in all the right spots. We have no idea how he does it but are happy with where his inspiration led us.”
