“Out In The World” is the first single from GUM’s upcoming fifth album. The single was released on March 12, 2020, accompanied by a music video. Jay describes the song as “light streaming in from outside into a dark room.”
[Verse 1]
It's morning again
I'm sensing a trend
I don't know how it takes so long to get to sunset
And just like that, it's gone
Watching my friends
They're at it again
I don't know why it makes me sad to see them all here now
In the same room
[Chorus]
Won't you stay out in the world?
We don't care how it's supposed to be
Won't you stay out in the world?
Said, "We don't care how it's supposed to be"
[Verse 2]
Catching yourself checking your head
Through the mental Rolodex of every person
That you've ever met
It's evening again
Please tell me the trends
I feel that I've died and gone back to high school
But I can't remember it being as bad as this
[Chorus]
Would you stay out in the world?
We don't care how it's supposed to be
Won't you stay out in the world?
Said, "We don't care how it's supposed to be"
[Bridge]
And I'm wondering whether it all went wrong
I was grown up right, I was a good kid
Turns out that's not a matter of fact
And nobody cares who gets to sing the song
It's gonna change in time
Who wants the limelight?
But it's not too late to change your life
Or your mind
[Chorus]
So just stay out in the world
We don't care how it's supposed to be
Won't you stay out in the world?
Said, "We don't care how it's supposed to be"
