mac/glidden - Mountains Lyrics

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?
