Outside

I Choose Forever

The wish to be together without masks is part of happiness.

Let every wire lose its flow,
Let binary code just cease to go.
And then our eyes may finally meet
When no new message hits your screen.

I'll talk to you, you'll talk to me,
"Let's go somewhere, just come with me."
Where sky and sunlight open wide,
Where simple words don't need to hide.

I know that happiness is brief,
A moment here, a moment there.
And if we want to catch it live,
We have to truly be right there.

There, where you can feel the world,
There, where everything feels clear.
Where your only role is being you,
And no password gets you here.

Where every breath is yours to take,
Where roads aren't goals or games we play.
Where joy is simply walking free,
Where happiness is you and me.

I know that happiness is brief,
A moment here, a moment there.
And if we want to catch it live,
What matters is that we're right there.

And there you'll know without a doubt,
This road is yours to walk throughout.
And if they understand you there,
That's where they'll find you as you are.

So come with me, let's go right now,
We'll stay an hour and look around.
Who knows? Perhaps we'll make it two—
I'd choose forever there with you.

There, where you can feel the world,
There, where everything feels clear.
Where your only role is being you,
And no password gets you here.
