Way Out
Goot Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Well take a ride, just us alone
Well find our answers on the road
The keys to my car are sitting on the table.
It wont be you and me no more
Well finally get some time to explore
It sounds like a plan were willing and were able

When were driving in the fast lane maybe
Well find a better way
To deal with our troubles baby
But until that day
Well go our separate ways and stop counting the days
Could you see a way out other than this?
Could you see a way out other than the road?

Its better this way, get used to it
Stop holding on to what cant be fixed
Times are hard and they dont get easy til you discard
Everything that meant something to you

When were driving in the fast lane maybe
Well find a better way
To deal with our troubles baby
But until that day
Well go our separate ways and stop counting the days
Could you see a way out other than this?
Could you see a way out other than the road?

The road becomes our lives per se.
In some sort of metaphorical way.
Everything amounts to something we could never try to disassemble
(like some kind of a riddle)
take your time, you must try. Its your call, end it all
and were just caught in the middle

When were driving in the fast lane maybe
Well find a better way
To deal with our troubles baby
But until that day
Well go our separate ways and stop counting the days




Could you see a way out other than this?
Could you see a way out other than the road?

Overall Meaning

The opening verse of "Way Out" by Goot sets the scene for what is to follow. The lyrics speak of taking a ride with just the two of them, presumably to escape their problems and find some answers on the road. However, the next line hints at a forthcoming separation as the singer suggests that it won't be "you and me no more." Despite this, they are eager and willing to explore new places and find solace in their adventure.


The chorus of the song repeatedly questions whether there is a way out other than the road. The lyrics suggest that they are entrenched in the metaphor of driving as a metaphor for both their relationship and their journey through life. They hope that someday they will find a better way to deal with their troubles, but until then, they will go their separate ways and stop counting the days.


The final verse of "Way Out" speaks to the complexity of their situation. The lyrics speak of the road becoming their lives in a metaphorical sense, implying that they have been using driving as an escape from their problems for quite some time. The lines "take your time, you must try. Its your call, end it all/ and were just caught in the middle" imply that they are at a crossroads and must make a decision about their future. The song ends with the same question that is repeated throughout the chorus, "Could you see a way out other than this?"
