Lyrics
We don't live in the same part of town
We live in different parts of town.
But we always see each other around
Although we live apart, we frequently encounter each other.
You don't even need to cross the street
You don't need to make an effort to come to me; I'll always be on your mind.
I'll always cross your mind, you'll find me
My presence will consistently occupy your thoughts.
I think I walked past your house I can barely recognize
I might have walked by your house, but it's hard to recognize.
But I know I'm on your street because they all look so alike
I can identify your street, but the houses look similar.
For once I needed to actually count the numbers
At times, I had to count house numbers to find your place.
I can count on you to think you're like no other
You believe you're unique, and I can depend on that belief.
Dreams held up by picket white fences
Dreams represented by typical, idealistic imagery of suburban life.
All you want is to feel safe and protected
Your desire primarily revolves around feeling secure and safe.
I watch you keep on pretending
I observe you continue to act as if things are different than they are.
You think you have your happy ending
You believe you've found your happily-ever-after.
You wanted a beautiful, still work of art
You sought a beautiful, static relationship.
To hold tight, closest to your heart
To hold onto closely, as dear as possible.
It turns out instead I was a movie
Instead of that, I turned out to be more dynamic like a movie.
I was loud, I was clear to be seen
I was vibrant, evident, and visible.
You had a vision, your eyes were massive
You had a clear idea of what you wanted.
You knew what you wanted with a passion
You pursued your desires passionately.
If I ever, say, asked you a question
If I ever asked you something, it wasn't what you anticipated.
It was nothing that you were expecting
Your expectations weren't met by my inquiries.
Dreams held up by picket white fences
Reiteration of dreams linked to idyllic suburban life.
All you want is to feel safe and protected
Your primary longing is for a sense of safety and protection.
I watch you keep on pretending
I observe you persist in acting contrary to reality.
You think you have your happy ending
You believe you've achieved the ending you desired.
I wanted you to hold my hand
I desired your affection and closeness.
But you wanted to hold me back
But you aimed to hold me back or restrain.
Big parties at your place
You hosted grand gatherings to fill the emptiness.
To fill up all that empty space
To occupy the void that exists within.
Dreams held up by picket white fences
Reiteration of dreams linked to idealized suburban imagery.
All you want is to feel safe and protected
Your core desire remains centered on safety and security.
I watch you keep on pretending
Observing your continuous insistence on a false reality.
You think you have your happy ending
You are convinced you've attained your desired happiness.
