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
Are my Greek chorus
Kids draw hearts
There on the sidewalk for us
It's not safe
To go outside
Like I feared
I need someplace
That I can hide
This is getting weird
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 a store
And can 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 I 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
So I keep looking behind me
Again and again
But there's no escaping
What we might have
What we might have been
