Picket Fences
Did you ever get that picket fence that you wanted?
The old American Dream so unduly vaunted
The perfect lawn
Two point four kids
All this is yours if you keep your
Feelings hidden
Did you make that choice to live a life haunted?
Haunted by the feelings that promised alienation
Haunted by the rules passed down through generations
Haunted by the faith that taught of ruination
Haunted by the family you saw as your foundation
When we met you were so young and full of promise
But tradition weighed down on you as an onus
You couldn't yet be
Open and free
You only shared your
Doubts with me
We waited so long for you to say something honest
Did you ever get that picket fence that you wanted?
The old American Dream so unduly vaunted
The perfect lawn
Two point four kids
All this is yours if you keep your
True feelings hidden
Did you make that choice to live a life haunted?
Haunted by the feelings that promised alienation
Haunted by those rules passed down through generations
Haunted by the faith that taught of ruination
Haunted by the family you saw as your foundation
I hope you got that white picket fence that you wanted
A new American Dream for the newly undaunted
The perfect lawn
One or two kids
A bold paradise where we
We all can live
So no one ever has to live a life haunted
The old American Dream so unduly vaunted
The perfect lawn
Two point four kids
All this is yours if you keep your
Feelings hidden
Did you make that choice to live a life haunted?
Haunted by the feelings that promised alienation
Haunted by the rules passed down through generations
Haunted by the faith that taught of ruination
Haunted by the family you saw as your foundation
When we met you were so young and full of promise
But tradition weighed down on you as an onus
You couldn't yet be
Open and free
You only shared your
Doubts with me
We waited so long for you to say something honest
Did you ever get that picket fence that you wanted?
The old American Dream so unduly vaunted
The perfect lawn
Two point four kids
All this is yours if you keep your
True feelings hidden
Did you make that choice to live a life haunted?
Haunted by the feelings that promised alienation
Haunted by those rules passed down through generations
Haunted by the faith that taught of ruination
Haunted by the family you saw as your foundation
I hope you got that white picket fence that you wanted
A new American Dream for the newly undaunted
The perfect lawn
One or two kids
A bold paradise where we
We all can live
So no one ever has to live a life haunted
