Step Outside: A Song

A confused sinner trying to make sense of this crazy world

Lyrics:

I embarked on a gallant quest

To the bottom of my soul

And all that I discovered was

What I already know

If you want to know the answers, son

Then you’ve chosen the wrong road

This one doesn’t take you very far

Step outside

You’ll be amazed by the things you see

When you step outside

Stop walking on your head and use your feet

If the problem’s not inside me

Then we need a new decree

So let’s erect our effigy

And go protesting in the streets

If this is what you fight for, son

Then you’ve chosen the wrong dream

Love is not a victory march

Step outside

You’ll be amazed by the things you see

When you step outside

Don’t be afraid for the truth to set you free

You’re walking on the water

But for me it’s sink or swim

I was looking for the answer

That was blowing in the wind

If you want to find love there, son

Then you’ve chosen the wrong friends

You’ll only find it inside My arms

Step outside

You’ll be amazed by the things you see

When you step outside

What a relief that the truth’s not inside me

Step outside

(Repeat)

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

Thank you for all that you do for me
Thank you for working through disagreements with me
Thank you for always supporting me
I appreciate you more than words can express
You have helped me grow and become a better person
I can't wait to see where life takes us next
I promise to cherish every moment with you
Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
