The Suburbs

The Suburbs

In the suburbs I, I learned to drive 

And you told me we'd never survive.

Grab your mother's keys we're leaving.



You always seemed so sure

That one day we'd be fighting

In a suburban war.

Your part of town against mine

I saw you standing on the opposite shore

But by the time the first bombs fell

We were already bored.

We were already, already bored



Sometimes I can't believe it

I'm moving past the feeling

Sometimes I can't believe it

I'm moving past the feeling again



The kids want to be so hard

But in my dreams we're still screaming

And running through the yard.

When all of the walls that they built in the 70s finally fall,

And all of the houses they built in the 70s finally fall.

Meant nothing at all?

Meant nothing at all,

It meant nothing.



Sometimes I can't believe it

I'm moving past the feeling

Sometimes I can't believe it

I'm moving past the feeling 

And into the night.



So can you understand

Why I want a daughter while I'm still young?

I want to hold her hand,

And show her some beauty,

Before this damage is done.

But if it's too much to ask

If it's too much to ask

Then send me a son.



Under the overpass

In the parking lot we're still waiting

It's already past

So move your feet from hot pavement

And into the grass

'Cause it's already past

It's already, already past.



Sometimes I can't believe it

I'm moving past the feeling,

Sometimes I can't believe it

I'm moving past the feeling again

I'm moving past the feeling

I'm moving past the feeling



In my dreams we're still screaming

We're still screaming

We're still screaming
