"broken home (realizing you're lonely)"
Hanson
Don't you look so happy in your tension free, open home
My, your life looks so attractive
Judging from the scenes seen through your window
The serenity of your sanity
Well, doesn't that just bring me hope
For a gentle, open, honest world
Full of altruistic people
My, the world looks so inviting
That I might just begin trying
To be a part in this act you're acting
Because it must be so fulfilling
(Chorus:)
So when the night comes in
And the stars come out
And you're pretending just how
Beautiful life is
(I want you to)
Think of me
Think of me
Because these are the steps
You are going through the motions of
Realizing you're lonely
Realizing you're lonely
You are realizing you're lonely, and what lonely is
I'm cynical and hateful, yes, to you it looks that way
I'm also very jealous
Of the contentment that you like to display
But the benevolence of your forgiveness
Will surely mean me saved
You're well adjusted and believe
In being righteous at the end of the day
Chorus
I'll tell you the doors
Slam so often in my house
I'll tell you the walls
Would only scream back if they could talk
I'll tell you 'bout the floors
And the stairs
And their hard steps taken
I'll even tell you 'bout the chairs
In the air
When taken up in anger
Don't you look so happy in your tension free, open home
My, your life looks so attractive
Judging from the scenes seen through the window
But I know about the doors, in your house
With a lot of plaster
I know about the walls
Which are mute with extra insulation
And I know all about the floors
And the steps
Covered with thick carpet
And I know how
All the furniture's nailed down
Don't you look so happy in your home
In your home
Chorus (In your home x3)
