This is a song about feeling trapped. Sometimes when we feel trapped we try and go after the grass that is greener, not realizing that true freedom and happiness comes with contentment.
Lyrics
There's a quaint little suberb There's a great big city There's a fierce little girl who stares through the cracks in the wall that lies between And she swears on the day that she turns eighteen that she's going to leave She said I'll set a foot on every inch of solid ground in that city I'm gonna find if the world is really round of if Columbus was lying Oh you know he would On the day she turned eighteen She ignored her mother's pleas She packed her things it was time to leave And as the clothes piled up next to the door They all knew she'd swore She'd swore I'll set a foot on every inch of solid ground in that city I'm gonna find if the world is really round of if Columbus was lying Oh you know he would I think she missed an important key That the walls she believed where bein her keep Were not keeping her in They were keeping her free
