outside Songtext
von gnash

Hey, hey, hey, nice
How′s it sounding?
It's pretty good, then again-

Did you see the thing on the news
About the thing that went bad?
A lotta people confused
A lotta people were sad
A couple people were mad
And they were turnin′ their backs
I didn't know what to think
So I called up my dad, and said

It's scary to go outside
It′s scary to take a drive
It′s scary to be alive
But it's also scary to die
Scary to be alone
It′s scary to sit at home
It's scary ′cause I don't know
What′s scaring me the most


But wait
What were we talkin' about?
I got carried away
With my worries and doubts
Hey
Why don't we turn it around?
Spend the rest of the day
With our heads in the clouds
For a while now
It′s getting harder to smile now
I didn′t even notice

It's a beautiful day
And the sky is so clear
Swear it′s never this warm out
So late in the year
Are the birds and the bees
All feelin' our fear?
Do they know what we′ve done
To their atmosphere?

It's scary to go outside
It′s scary to take a drive
It's scary alone at night
It's scary inside my mind
It′s scary to go to school
It′s scary to read the news
It's scary to think of you
I know you′re scared too


But wait
What were we talkin' about?
I got carried away
With my worries and doubts
Hey
Why don′t we turn this around?
Spend the rest of the day
With our heads in the clouds
For a while now
Why's it so hard to smile now?
Let′s take a walk and talk

About the sky and the sea
And the people and trees
And the things we believe
And the love that we need
And the things that we buy
And the reasons we cry
'Cause we're scared of this life
But it′s scary to die

Oh, wait
What were we talkin′ about?
I got carried away
With my worries and doubts
Hey
Why don't we turn this around?
Find the beauty and pain
In the ups and the downs
And just smile now
Man, I′d hate to be a child now
They'll be scared for a while now
