LYRICS < THE SUBURBS Click, drag
In the suburbs I, I learned to driveAnd you told me we’d never surviveGrab your mother’s keys we’re leaving You always seemed so sureThat one day we’d be fightingIn a suburban warYour part of town against mineI saw you standing 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 moving past the feelingSometimes I can’t believe itI’m moving past the feeling again The kids want to be so hardBut in my dreams we’re still screamingAnd running through the yardWhen all of the walls that they built in the 70’s finally fall,And all of the houses they built in the 70’s finally fall–Meant nothing at all?Meant nothing at all,It meant nothing Sometimes I can’t believe itI’m moving past the feelingSometimes I can’t believe itI’m moving past the feelingAnd into the night So can you understandWhy I want a daughter while I’m still young?I want to hold her hand,And show her some beauty,Before all this damage is doneBut if it’s too much to askIf it’s too much to askThen send me a son Under the overpassIn the parking lot we’re still waitingIt’s already pastSo move your feet from hot pavementAnd into the grass‘Cause it’s already pastIt’s already, already past Sometimes I can’t believe itI’m moving past the feelingSometimes I can’t believe itI’m moving past the feeling againI’m moving past the feelingI’m moving past the feeling In my dreams we’re still screamingWe’re still screamingWe’re still screaming
In the suburbs I, I learned to driveAnd you told me we’d never surviveGrab your mother’s keys we’re leaving
You always seemed so sureThat one day we’d be fightingIn a suburban warYour part of town against mineI saw you standing 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 moving past the feelingSometimes I can’t believe itI’m moving past the feeling again
The kids want to be so hardBut in my dreams we’re still screamingAnd running through the yardWhen all of the walls that they built in the 70’s finally fall,And all of the houses they built in the 70’s finally fall–Meant nothing at all?Meant nothing at all,It meant nothing
Sometimes I can’t believe itI’m moving past the feelingSometimes I can’t believe itI’m moving past the feelingAnd into the night
So can you understandWhy I want a daughter while I’m still young?I want to hold her hand,And show her some beauty,Before all this damage is doneBut if it’s too much to askIf it’s too much to askThen send me a son
Under the overpassIn the parking lot we’re still waitingIt’s already pastSo move your feet from hot pavementAnd into the grass‘Cause it’s already pastIt’s already, already past
Sometimes I can’t believe itI’m moving past the feelingSometimes I can’t believe itI’m moving past the feeling againI’m moving past the feelingI’m moving past the feeling
In my dreams we’re still screamingWe’re still screamingWe’re still screaming
