lyrics

1. "Outside"

I'm just going outside
and may be some time

I'm just going outside
I won't change my mind

If it's on the Earth
you can rest assured
we'll find it

If it's hard to reach
if we were blind we'd be
crawling on our hands and knees

There's nothing like the will to be the first one to see
but don't let that thing know
it's all you need

I'm just going outside
to see what the light's like
to see if the view tonight
makes it worthwhile

To set out in the frozen wind with less than what we need
don't we deserve a little luck to match temerity
when all we ask is that we grasp what no one else can reach
and make it known that we have shown how human hearts can beat
a path across the cold and lifeless limits of what be

But don't let that thing know
it's beating for free

I'm just going outside
might sit by myself for a little while
might consider the cold dark night
some kind of prize

Maybe I'll disappear into oblivious dignity
there's nothing like the will to be the first one to see

But don't let that thing know
this could have been easy
but don't let that thing know
you're making history

I'm just going outside
and may be some time
