Brit was right when she said we should worry the Boys outside ran in a hurry Mom held tight to the ground it was made of grass Then the house burnt down so fast School at night lead to heads filled with blurry the Games of pride were storm-like in there Fury I made light of the in picked labs As the house burnt down so fast And as you pry I thought that I forgot town As you pry I thought that I forgot town Graced all the papers The story of the neighbors The house burnt down so fast Late to wake, an office Explaining to the bosses The house burnt down the past To keep the peace and fix the place You stayed in hotels To keep the peace and stay sane I went to Victoria's You stayed in hotels You stayed in hotels Why I ran away I'll never know Why I ran away I'll never know Why I ran away I'll never know Never ever know Never ever know

    General Comment:I was at a bar where they were playing and she talked a little about the meaning of this song beforehand.

    When Genevieve was young her house burned down and ever since that day she's felt her concept of 'home' changed. The song is about how home can mean wherever you are at the time.

    General Comment:I read in an interview with either Marc or Genevieve that this song was a dream that she had about her parents divorce and the subsequent break-up of her family. Makes sense. It makes some of the lines terribly sad.

    i think it's actually "heads filled with blurry".

    The acoustic version with a string section on the Bonus Tracks of Ordinary Riches is AGH AMAZING.
