[Instrumentals]
[Verse 1]
Oh, the gra** is green
In my, American dream
Bright rooms and picket fences
And a backyard oasis
Oh, my world is safe
It's a small, brick hideaway
Strong, with good defenses
No solicitations
[Pre-Chorus 1]
I've built a safe, but a little lonely nation
And I hear an invitation but
[Chorus]
I feel the heat on my face, burning with the truth
I watch the walls give way, with just a stone or two
I'm running back to that place, to remember who I am
And what I lost of me, living on a quiet street
[Verse 2]
Love, was a distant noise
Now I hear, a Holy voice
Singing loud, breaking down this house
To the bare foundation
[Pre-Chorus 2]
You called me out, of a life complacent
I left that corner vacant but
[Chorus]
I feel the heat on my face, burning with the truth
I watch the walls give way, with just a stone or two
I'm running back to that place, to remember who I am
And what I lost of me, living on a quiet street
[Bridge]
I'd rather gain my soul, than win the whole wide world
So I'll run recklessly to a better dream
Than I could reach, living on a quiet street
[Chorus]
I feel the heat on my face, burning with the truth
I watch the walls give way, with just a stone or two
I'm running back to that place, to remember who I am
And what I lost of me, living on a quiet street
