"Outside In" lyrics

Yeah, did you ever think to notice, it's when you feel a little low
That the entire spinning universe descends to say hello
With heavy-handed cheerfulness and a calculated smile
And says, "Carry me awhile"?
But you don't have to carry much of anything at all
The biggest thoughts of bigger things are really pretty small
The major thoughts that occupy the minor state of mind
Are what we leave behind
Just a minor thought that we can leave behind
Just a minor thought that we can leave behind

Don't worry 'bout the future, you know you can't afford the price
There's madness to the method when you pay the piper twice
Once when you start to worry, once again when you begin
To take the future on the chin
I know that you think worry is your ever-faithful friend
'Cause nothin' that you worry over ever happens in the end
And there might be somethin' to it but it sure gets in the way of fun today
What d'you say, we try and have some fun today?

You know, it takes a sense of balance on this tiny little ball
With a tiny mind still big enough to think about it all
To realize the size of things is just a state of mind
And you can change your mind
There's a riddle in the middle of that universal spin
But we're out here on the edges where it gets a little thin
So, just for once, permit yourself a carefree little grin
From the outside lookin' in
'Cause we're out here on the outside lookin' in
And it's better on the outside lookin' in
