you weren't as free as you'd been lately
before we walk this way again
i could tell you stories that changed me

'cause everybody wants to know what life is all about
nobody wants to feel they're being left out
not everybody wants a family and a fancy house
nobody wants to feel they're being left out

i heard you whisper in the trees
you weren't as free as you could have been lately
before we wonder one of these
i could tell you stories that saved me

'cause everybody wants to know what life is all about
and nobody wants to feel they're being left out
not everybody want a family and a fancy house
nobody wants to feel they're being left out

so let's sit at home and count the stars and think it out
'cause everybody wants to know what life is all about

and even when it rains
love protects you
call her secret name
and don't forget you
want a world you can't explain

'cause everybody wants to know what life is all about
nobody wants to feel they're being left out
not everybody wants a family and a fancy house
everybody wants to know what love is all about
so let's sit at home and count the cars and laugh it out
'cause everybody wants to know what life is all about

don't forget you
want a world you can't explain
