I had to step outside
To cool off
To cool off
I know this sign
That my heartbeats
For you now
I had to go away
If only in my mind
For just a little while
To talk to my heart
I had to step outside
To cool off to cool off
I know this sign
That my heartbeats
For you
Carry on
If you must
I'm ready to step inside
With wide-open trust
Carry on
If you must
Carry on
If you must
I'll gladly walk beside you
For I'm the one you love
Carry on if you must
Carry on
I had to step outside
To cool off, to cool off
It was a war inside
To let me fall for you
I had to go away
Only if in my mind
All the shame has been replaced
I've come home to my heart
I had to step outside
To cool off, to cool off
It was a war inside
To let me fall for you
Carry on
If you must
I'm ready to step inside
With wide-open trust
Carry on
If you must
Carry on
If you must
I'll gladly walk beside you
For I'm the one you love
Carry on if you must
Carry on
