Hidden Houses

Behind the door a secret place
A hidden house you see
A place where you imagine

Just how life could be
And in your head
You've made your bed
You sleep alone you see
The person in the mirror can't be me

And that's all right
You say that's life
It's alright
You saved my life

Hold my hand
Close your eyes
Understand

Guide each man, a frightened lamb
Who hides beneath the sheets
Waiting for a chance to just be free
Behind the masks
Try to last another day or week
A perfect life laid in front of me

And that's alright
You say that's life
It's alright
You see my life

Hold my hand
Close your eyes
Understand

Come with me
Let's walk
Close your eyes
Let's talk

My life
My love
My love
