Better Off Outside

lyrics

BETTER OFF OUTSIDE

sea to sea and all between
i've seen it all and lived to wipe it clean
i was twenty when i lost it
i was thirty when i found you in a dream

the closer that i come to sitting down
the further off it becomes
another part, another play, another time and place
between where my hands and face collide
sometimes we're better off outside
we're better off outside

hand in hand like grains of sand
conversing with the wind and with the tide
there's nothing ever sweeter
than a summer rain, trying to hitch a ride

and the closer that it comes to moving on
the further off it becomes
another wall, another door, another window keeping score
for all the years we thought to hide
sometimes we're better off outside
we're better off outside

now all those missed years fade away
like mist in a noon day sun
we're on the run

take your time, yeah, you've got time
that's what we always said, to ease our minds
and we're still here after all these years
it's time to move, just to see what we might find

and the closer that we come to letting go
the further off it becomes
another life, another world, another way and mean
between all the things we've been denied
sometimes we're better off outside
we're better off outside
