Among people and dogs, buildings and trees

lyrics

Little boy in a souvenir store
Carefully choosing between some little things
You would like to have
Your mother by your side
Patiently waiting for you to decide
It has to be just right to save the memory
And then you can look at it when you get back home

Someone who wants the best for you
And takes you to see faraway places
While you're struggling to keep your own world intact
Finding the right little thing
Will help you with that

You just want to be left to yourself
To go through your things in the order you must
But you're dragged to the car
To some friends you don't know
To be like a boy with people around
So you don't get to do all you planned you should do
But to your surprise you can deal with that

Someone who breaks your shut world apart
And takes you to see wide open spaces
You're struggling to keep your own world intact
Finding the people outside, would change some of that

And the years will go on and you'll learn how to live
Among people and dogs, buildings and trees
But you'll still need your time and you'll really just care
About what you know to be true inside your own mind
So you'll still be that boy trying hard to decide
What's just right for you to help you be fine

Someone who wants the best for you
And comes with you to see faraway places
You're struggling to keep your own world intact
Finding the right little things
Will help you with that
