Is it safe to go outside?
Have I waited long enough
to face the world?
How can I face the world?
When every tree and traffic light
Is asking me the reason
why I let you go
And I don't really know
All the old men on the block
Our mighty chorus
The kids draw hearts there
on the sidewalk for us
It's not safe to go outside
Like I fear
I need some place that I can hide
This is getting real
It's not safe to go outside
It's not safe
Since you went away
A mannequin, who looks like you,
is in the window of a store
And could it be, I swear he winked at me
And all the headlines that I read,
they say you're out of here
And I'm the one to blame,
they say I threw the game
Now I'm running for my life,
like Dustin Hoffman
I guess that I've been lucky
once too often
It's not safe to go outside
It's a place that I can't hide
This is getting weird
It's not safe to go outside
It's not safe
Since you went away
So I'll keep looking behind me
again and again
There's no escaping what
we might have,
what we might have been
It's not safe to go outside
I need some place that I can hide
It's not safe to go outside
It's not safe, it's not safe
It's not safe since you went away
You
