[Verse 1]

The children say, "run away

On the streets no one plays"

Going down to the bargain basement

See what you find, if you have the patience

Down so low, your nerves were raw

You find them all beneath the floor

Pass it by friends to meet

You find them all beneath the street

[Bridge]

Too many secrets

Reasons defeat us

Precious, little reasons

To while away the days

[Chorus]

Behind you, beneath you

Above you, all around you

It could have been you

Yeah, it could have been you

[Bridge]

Too many secrets

Reasons defeat us

Precious little reasons

To while away the years

[Chorus]

Behind you, beneath you

Above you, all around you

All around you

[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]

It's so complicated

Your problems, were related

Crawling, long and lowly

It's dawning on us, slowly

[Bridge]

Too many secrets

Reasons defeat us

Precious little reasons

To while away the days

[Chorus]

Behind you, beneath you

Above you, all around you

All around you

[Break]

What happened in there did you lose your mind? (Behind you)

When they knocked at the door did you make it in time?

Did you talk to god to see a sign? (Beneath you)

Was the devil next door was your soul on the line

Did it just appear did you ever chase it (Above you, all around you)

Did you really fall down can you ever face it

Do you always remember what you do

'Cause it could have been you

It could have been you

It could have been you

Yeah, it could have been you
