Lyrics
We've got to get out we're surrounded
We feel the need to escape because we are surrounded.
By how far you might go and your dragging out your secrets
There is uncertainty about the extent of your potential and you're revealing hidden truths slowly.
In hidden lives out on the coast
Hidden lives exist on the coast, possibly indicating concealed aspects of life.
You can always go home if you can find your way and you're lucky
Returning home is an option if one can navigate and is fortunate, suggested by finding the way and hitting green lights.
And hit all the green lights
The reference to hitting green lights may symbolize favorable circumstances.
I'm a child in my skeleton a ghost of my old life

We've got to get out on the summer days to fight

We have probably disappeared stars fall from the sky

Its just an accident we don't collide

I'll find somewhere to hide at night

We cut our teeth on the leathery streets of suburban retreats
Refers to the formative experiences in challenging environments, symbolized by leathery streets.
With the glass floor underneath I know your bones from your heart
Knowing someone intimately, from bones to heart, and referencing vulnerability (glass floor).
To your shoulder like the clothes in your drawers
Understanding details like clothes and personal moments.
And the moments in between
Empty line, possibly for emphasis or pause in the narrative.
We have probably disappeared stars fall from the sky

It's just an accident we don't collide
