Lyrics
Do you live where all the houses look the same?
Do all the neighbours know your name?
Are you the best that ever was, or is trouble more your cause?
Do all the houses look the same?
Do you drive an SUV?
And is it safe enough for me?
I’m just a child of 21, so take me out, we’ll have some fun
In the backseat just you and me
There are secrets in the walls
And toxins in the pavement
They’re seeping into water, into air
And you breathe it all in
There are hopes beneath the houses
And love between the cars
Hidden like the memories
Of who and what you are
Do you live where all the kids can run and play?
Do you think they’ll all be safe?
Are they sheltered from the world, do you think they’ve even heard
Of what the streets outside can say?
Do you live inside a house, or in a home?
Is this a place you’d call your own?
Or are you dying to get out, see what reality’s about
Is this the only place you’ve ever known?
There are secrets in the walls
And toxins in the pavement
They’re seeping into water, into air
And you breathe it all in
There are hopes beneath the houses
And love between the cars
Hidden like the memories
Of who and what you are
