Steppin' Out Lyrics

Now - The mist across the window hides the lines But nothing hides the colour of the lights that shine Electricity so fine Look and dry your eyes We - So tired of all the darkness in our lives With no more angry words to say Can come alive Get into a car and drive To the other side Me babe - steppin out Into the night Into the light You babe - steppin out Into the night Into the light We - Are young but getting old before our time We'll leave the T.V. and the radio behind Don't you wonder what we'll find Steppin out tonight You - Can dress in pink and blue just like a child And in a yellow taxi turn to me and smile We'll be there in just a while If you follow me Me babe - steppin out Into the night Into the light You babe - steppin out Into the night Into the light

Meaning of Steppin' Out

“Steppin’ Out” captures a yearning for escape and youthful optimism amidst the weariness of life. Joe Jackson paints a picture of two lovers seeking refuge from the “darkness in our lives,” tired of routine and angry words. The song is a call to abandon distractions like television and radio, embracing a spontaneous journey into the night – a symbolic "stepping out" into something new and brighter. It’s about reclaiming innocence, represented by dressing like a child, and finding joy in simple moments with a loved one. The repeated lines, “Steppin’ out tonight,” emphasize this desire for liberation and a fresh start, suggesting a hopeful anticipation of what they might discover together as they drive towards the "other side." It’s an invitation to leave behind worries and embrace the possibilities of a carefree adventure.
