outside

Hey, hey, hey
Nice
How's it sound?
Pretty good

Did you see the thing on the news about the thing that went bad?
A lot of people confused, a lot of people were sad
A couple people were mad and they were turning 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
It's 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 talking 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 bees all feeling our fear?
Do they know what we've done to their atmosphere?

Yeah, 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 and know you're scared too
But wait, what were we talking 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 talking about?
I got carried away with my worries and doubts
Hey, why don't we turn this around?
Find the beauty in 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
