Mountains

Where I'm from the stars are on the street And we build mountains in our minds and in concrete And where I'm from the people like to play They get dressed up, they take the train, they go away To find their moment in the mountain range "Are you still growing? I feel the same..." But it's not the same You'll know the words, I'll know the tune Come out tonight, lasso the moon I'll go to work, you'll go to school You'll know the words, I'll know the tune I wish I knew you well, but I don't even know myself And while you're busy climbing walls I've walked this valley... For so long I don't recognize the change But something's rising up inside of me just the same Cause where I'm from you need a place to go But when they started building mountains who could know? We're all alone... You know the words, I know the tune You know the words, I know the tune If I shake the ground, shift the upper crust, will it lift me up?
