outside

Hey, hey, hey

Nice

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 awhile 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 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

I 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 awhile 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 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 awhile now
