I never knew how the buildings stood still
In the forests with parking lot meadows
My legs they’d fail
And I’d hit my head on the fog in the air
I’m a poor boy lost in the wrong types of mountains
My colors gone stale
So let’s move to the prairie
Where the houses feel like home (let me breathe)
Let’s move to the prairie
And the sirens call don’t match the bird’s song
We’re forced to learn the wrong types of lessons
Our colors gone stale
And the more we scrape off the sky
The more I know, we’re all just imposters
Colors gone stale
And the river froze last night
You know the river froze before my eyes
The river always seems to toil and turn
Progress what a habit to unlearn
The sun it comes it comes and melts us to movement
So let’s move to the prairie
Yeah let’s move to the prairie
Let’s move to the prairie
Where the houses feel like home
The houses feel like home
