"Outside"

Lyrics:

I FIN’LLY DID THE THING I ALWAYS SAID I WOULD DO.
I MOVED TO NEW YORK CITY, BUT THE THING THAT IS NEW
IS NOT THE CITY THAT I’M IN
BUT WHAT’S BENEATH MY FRAGILE SKIN:
THE PERSON THAT I’VE NEVER BEEN 
THAT WANTS TO BREAK THROUGH.

A NEW ADDRESS. A NEW CHANCE.
A BRAND-NEW DRESS. A BRAND-NEW STANCE.
JUST SLIP IT ON, AND SLIP OUT THE DOOR.
DON’T STAY WITHDRAWN. GO OUT TO EXPLORE 
AND THEN SEE
WHAT COULD HAPPEN IF I GO OUTSIDE 
AND PRESENT A NEW ME.

I’VE ALWAYS KNOWN I DIDN’T FIT THE MOLD LIKE MY FRIENDS.
I LOOKED JUST LIKE THE OTHER BOYS, BUT THAT’S WHERE IT ENDS.
I LOVE THE BODY THAT I’M IN,
BUT BURIED UNDERNEATH MY SKIN:
THE PERSON THAT I’VE ALWAYS BEEN 
THAT NEVER TRANSCENDS.

A NEW HOME ON A BRAND-NEW STREET.
A BRAND-NEW DRESS WITH A BRAND NEW BEAT.
JUST TRY IT ON, AND TRY WALKING OUTSIDE.
DON’T STAY WITHDRAWN. TAKE YOURSELF FOR A RIDE 
AND THEN SEE
WHAT COULD HAPPEN IF I GO OUTSIDE 
AND PRESENT A NEW ME.

WHAT IF I DO IT?
SAY “YES TO THE DRESS” AND SAY “SCREW IT”?
HOW WILL IT FIT ME?
AND WHAT IF I GO OUTSIDE
WEARING MY DRESS WITH PRIDE?
WHAT IF THEY START TO STARE?
WHAT IF THEY PULL MY HAIR?
WHAT IF THEY HIT ME?

A NEW DRESS. A NEW DAY.
A BRAND-NEW CITY WHERE I’M ON DISPLAY.
DO I PUT IT ON AND PUT UP WITH THE SHIT?
DO I STAY WITHDRAWN AND DIE BIT BY BIT?
DO I DARE TO WEAR THIS DRESS 
THAT JUST MIGHT BE THE KEY?
WHAT COULD HAPPEN IF I GO OUTSIDE – 

I CAN’T KNOW WHAT’S IN STORE
FROM THIS SIDE OF THE DOOR.
FIND THE KEY. GO OUTSIDE.
WHAT COULD HAPPEN IF I CEASE TO HIDE
AND PRESENT A NEW ME?
