The EU needs to change. It can no longer be all about more countries, more power, more integration. A lot of people in Europe think the same, hence the increase in nationalist support. There's already a 2 tier Europe with Norway, Switz, Iceland etc and clearly some countries just don't want to continue to move toward a superstate. Those that want federalism can stay at the core, those that don't will negotiate their way out. Greenland's done it, and yes of course ours would be more complex but that's not a reason not to do the right thing.
For me Britain needs to be on the 2nd tier. Being in a trade zone but not with the associated further political integration. We're the 5th largest economy in the world and the EUs largest trading partner. It's a negotiation, concessions will need to be made, but its not unreasonable to think we could get a deal within 2 years. Yes there may be tariffs, but its a global marketplace, i'll just buy non EU wherever possible.
