Out There
A1 Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Come around to mine won't you
Wanna spend some time with you
Cut the chord and shoot the breeze

Wanna improvise with you
Put the world to rights with you
Let me put your mind at ease

[Chorus]
There's a whole lotta love out there
There's a whole lotta love out there
There's a whole lotta love out there
Out there
Doo doo doo doo doo...

Come and raise a glas with me
Reminisce and laugh with me
Go for broke and paint with me

Come on roll the dice with me
Flip the bird to life with me
We can turn this all around

[Chorus]
There's a whole lotta love out there

There's a whole lotta love out there
And there's more than enough to spare
There's a whole lotta love out there

Doo doo doo doo doo...

All I'm saying is
Climb the wall you've been facing
Catch the wave you've been chasing
We've got something to live for now

Come around to mine won't you
Wanna spend some time with you
Cut the chord and shoot the breeze

[Chorus]
There's a whole lotta love out there
There's a whole lotta love out there
And there's more than enough to spare
There's a whole lotta love out there

Doo doo doo doo doo...

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of A1's song "Out There" convey a message about the value of connection, spontaneity, and hope in life. In particular, the song expresses a sense of the joy that can arise from simple interactions with others, such as spending time together and chatting, as well as the importance of taking risks and living in the moment. The lyrics use a combination of metaphors ("shoot the breeze," "raise a glass") and straightforward declarations ("there's a whole lotta love out there") to convey the message of the song.

One interesting aspect of the song is how it balances a sense of optimism and hopefulness with an acknowledgment of the difficulties and uncertainties of life. There is a recognition that people may face obstacles (e.g., "Climb the wall you've been facing") and that life is not always predictable (e.g., "We can turn this all around"). However, the song also emphasizes the importance of actively seeking out positive experiences and relationships ("Come around to mine," "Let me put your mind at ease").
