	Story Behind the Song This is a song about how there are things we have in common with other people in other places, especially here in America, even though others may seem very distant and different. Chris & Lea wrote this in one evening in the late Summer of '98, after Lea had spent some time with an old friend from college. Lyrics There must be a corner café somewhere along the way, most every place we stay There must be a Main & Broadway in every town we play our music every day. There are brazen similarities in America the scarcity of a single stretch of highway minus signs; And yet with all their advertising ill-advising me there's no direction I can see that I could buy. Why my mind is drifting back to you in your city far away I truly cannot say Whatever I could find there could not possibly reward me as does my solitude this day. Yeah, right - that's what I tell myself, tumbling & laughing through moments of gold Yeah, right - why should I put up a fight, when darkness overtakes me, chains me down and breaks me... There must be a corner café in that city where you stay, that seems so far away There's must be a Main & Broadway, in your city of L.A., where the wealthy people play. And there are brazen similarities the scarcity of those who see inequity as a thing that should not be; But I had to believe that someday you would leave thought "you're a lot like me," sure that we agreed. Why my mind was drifting back to you in your city far away I truly cannot say Whatever I did find there could not possibly reward me as does my solitude this day. Yeah, right - that's what I tell myself, tumbling & laughing through moments of gold Yeah, right - why should I put up a fight, when darkness overtakes me, chains me down and breaks me... Freedom these days slips away easy-like it's not as if there are people dying in a foreign war. It's not as if we've been burdened by the weight of the state of this world before... yeah, yeah, yeah - Yeah, right - that's what I tell myself, tumbling & laughing through moments of gold Yeah, right - why should I put up a fight,wthen darkness overtakes me, chains me down and breaks me...
