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]

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.

[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.
