every day we walk right past
all the concrete and the glass
i don´t know where we´re going
i hardly ever see your face
and there´s not enough space
for all the love we should be growing

[chorus:]
we just need a little earth to stand on
plant our hearts on solid ground
turn the lights out on this city
and wake up in a new hometown
we´ll stand out in our front yard
where we can finally breathe
if we find a little earth to stand on
baby you and me

imagine friday football games
where everybody knows our names
they even stop to say hello
i bet they´ll have a town parade
kids selling lemonade
baby, don´t you wanna go, ohhhh

[repeat chorus]

[bridge:]
i don´t want to face tomorrow
if we don´t leave this place tonight
i´ve never been more sure
of anything in my life

all we need´s a little earth to stand on
plant our hearts on solid ground
turn the lights out on this city
and wake up in a new hometown
stand out in our front yard
where we can finally breathe
if we find a little earth to stand on
baby you and me

need a little earth to stand on
plant our hearts on solid ground
turn the lights out on this city
and wake up in a new hometown
we´ll dance out in our front yard
underneath a maple tree
if we find a little earth to stand on
baby you and me
