outside

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
