i heard you whisper on the train

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
