New Way Out

(album: In My Eyes - 1983)

I know how hard she'll take it
When she finds out I can't stay
So I don't want to have to tell her
If there's any other way

Is there any new way out
Where hearts are never broken
Is there any new way out
Where no one's ever hurt in anger
Is there any new way out
And harsh words are never spoken
Is there any new way out

Now, it only stands to reason
With all the plans that miss
That someone might have stumbled
On a better way than this

Is there any new way out
Where hearts are never broken
Is there any new way out
Where no one's ever needs surrender
Is there any new way out
Where neither side's mistreated
Is there any new way out

Is there any new way out
Where hearts are never broken
Is there any new way out
Where no one's ever hurt in anger
Is there any new way out
And harsh words are never spoken
Is there any new way out

Is there any new way out
Where tears are never needed
Is there any new way out
Where no one's ever needs surrender
Is there any new way out
Where neither side's mistreated
Is there any new way out
