Don't Go Outside

from Don't Go Outside by Baby Teeth

lyrics

You can only novocaine your nose so long
It’s a new day gotta be strong
Every bird can sing so why can’t you
You got ideas but you don’t follow through
So many ways that you let other people down
You’re lucky this isn’t a smaller town
You’re lucky everyone forgets the hurt you’ve caused
Just bundle up and pray to Santa Claus

Don’t go outside, you’ll wipe out
You need a cool rag, just take a time out
Don’t go outside, you’ll wipe out
You need a cool rag, just take a time out
Don’t talk to anyone, it’s safer that way
You’ll just regret it, forget it okay
Don’t go outside

You go and see the show alone and you stand like a stone
You count the minutes til you go back home
You count the minutes til you’re back on your bike
That’s the only part you actually like
Once upon a time it all used to feel so good
It was like Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood
Everybody was in bands and playing their shows
It was a comfort being one of those

You haven’t cried real tears in twenty-five years
You think you’ll do it in a couple of beers
You think it’s worth it to go out with your friends
You think they wanna give up their weekends
Everybody wanna stay in their house
Everybody wanna stay with their spouse
You’re nothing like you thought you’d be
A shut-in terrified of novelty
