Out There - Patty Smyth

Lizzy got married on Christmas Day

On the Coney Island Coast, I remember the way

She stood in the cold with the sun in her hair

Me and my brother were standing by

I remember my mother started to cry

Liz just looked at the sea, a million miles away

I said, «Now Lizzy can you tell me what you see?

And tell me why you keep a looking out there

Why you keep searching out there?

When everything you’ll ever want or need

Is right here with me

Yeah, and I took a ride with whoever would ask

I looked for the future, was done with the past and the present

Hey, that was just something to get through

And the nights went by and the years went too

My life was a mirror, the reflection was you

And at the end of the day my voice was so far away

Ooh, but maybe you could tell me who I am

And tell me why I keep a looking out there

Why I keep searching out there

For something you can’t taste or touch or see

No, no, no, 'cause it’s right here in me

And I know it’s all an illusion

You see what you wanna see

And I know, I know, ain’t nothing gonna rescue me now

I can take all this confusion

I just wanna be here now

Everything you’ll ever want or need

I know, I know, I know, it’s right here

I keep a looking out there

I keep searching out there

For something you can’t taste or touch or see

No, no, no, 'cause it’s right here

I said

«Na na na

Na na na

Na na na»
