Go outside / The best guitar lesson ever

Go Outside 

And welcome to my heart and soul
Miserable excuse
But tell the world of all the pain I've caused
I hope you don't forget these songs

And though I'm young life's been short
I'm only twenty-one
I feel as though we can relate on some
Of these words I've written down

So turn off, turn off this song
Find someone to love
Turn off this song
You can listen to it later
And go outside

And guys in bands
With vintage shirts and hundred dollar pants
Often think we do what no one can
We see ourselves above the rest

When faced with truth
I realize there is nothing I can do
Amount of talent or gift to bring
That is greater than the orphan song she sings yeah

Turn off, turn off this song
Find someone to love
Turn off this song
You can listen to it later
And go outside

Yeah you turn off, turn off this song
Find someone to love
Turn off this song
You can listen to it later
And go outside
And go outside
And go outside
And go outside

Ten years later, this song remains as close to my heart as the first time I heard it.  Grateful to YouTube for drawing my attention to numerous versions, which brought me to this comment by Sonja R:

I met him.  He said he was visiting his grandparents in an old folks home and they weren't able to move around and go outside like they used to.  So that was his inspiration for this song.
