Lyrics
There’s a world outside
And i know ‘cause i’ve heard talk
In my sweetest dream
I would go out for a walk
But i don’t think i’m ready yet
I’m not feeling up to it now
Just not that steady yet
And i don’t need you telling me how
There’s some happiness
And my stone face cracks again
Maybe sometime sooner or later
But i don’t think i’m ready yet
I’m not feeling up to it now
Just not that steady yet
And i don’t need you telling me how
So if i leave my room
Don’t you tell me to lighten up
Maybe sometime sooner or later
But i don’t think i’m ready yet
I’m not feeling up to it now
Just not that steady yet
And i don’t need you telling me how
And i know ‘cause i’ve heard talk
In my sweetest dream
I would go out for a walk
But i don’t think i’m ready yet
I’m not feeling up to it now
Just not that steady yet
And i don’t need you telling me how
There’s some happiness
And my stone face cracks again
Maybe sometime sooner or later
But i don’t think i’m ready yet
I’m not feeling up to it now
Just not that steady yet
And i don’t need you telling me how
So if i leave my room
Don’t you tell me to lighten up
Maybe sometime sooner or later
But i don’t think i’m ready yet
I’m not feeling up to it now
Just not that steady yet
And i don’t need you telling me how
