i looked out on the lake today
the waves were blowing high
high enough to carry me away
and take me out of sight

outside, outside
these things that we can't recognize
i've tried, i've tried
but maybe it's not for me to say goodbye
goodbye

take a walk
out to the edge of the neighbourhood
turn and see the city's glowing
still you say it's time
time you must be going
to leave behind the troubles that bother you
but where will you go
that they won't follow you?
where will you go
that they won't follow you?

outside, outside
these things that we can't recognize
i've tried, i've tried
i know it's not for me to say goodbye
goodbye

take a walk outside
