In the evening when the storefronts close
I watch as everybody walks away
But I want to stay
I stare down the empty streets aglow
Wonder at the windows and homes
Alone
In the morning kids are off to school
Yellow buses, all the rules remain the same
Stay in line, be kind
Wait your turn but try to win
Be good, like you should
You gotta walk so far
Lose who you are
Fall apart
To get that brand new start
When you meet a stranger down the road
Say hello, but all the same
Don't get too close
That's a lesson we've all been taught
To protect what you've got
And so you stay away
These roads are open and wide
There's room for everyone to move side by side
So it's a shame, it's a pity
In every town or city
That we learn to walk in single file
You gotta walk so far
Lose who you are
Fall apart
To get that brand new start
No one tells you how to grow
They teach you everything but what you need to know
