The Suburbs
In the suburbs II learned to driveAnd you told me we'd never surviveGrab your mother's keys we're leavin'
You always seemed so sureThat one day we'd fight inIn a suburban worldyour part of town gets minorSo you're standin' on the opposite shoreBut by the time the first bombs fellWe were already boredWe were already, already bored
Sometimes I can't believe itI'm movin' past the feelingSometimes I can't believe itI'm movin' past the feeling again
Kids wanna be so hardBut in my dreams we're still screamin' and runnin' through the yardAnd all of the walls that they built in the seventies finally fallAnd all of the houses they build in the seventies finally fallMeant nothin' at allMeant nothin' at allIt meant nothin
Sometimes I can't believe itI'm movin' past the feelingSometimes I can't believe itI'm movin' past the feeling and into the night
So can you understand?Why I want a daughter while I'm still youngI wanna hold her handAnd show her some beautyBefore this damage is done
But if it's too much to ask, it's too much to askThen send me a son
Under the overpassIn the parking lot we're still waitingIt's already passedSo move your feet from hot pavement and into the grassCause it's already passedIt's already, already passed!
Sometimes I can't believe itI'm movin' past the feelingSometimes I can't believe itI'm movin' past the feeling again
I'm movin' past the feelingI'm movin' past the feeling
In my dreams we're still screamin'We're still screamin'We're still screamin'
