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 movin' past the feeling
|
Sometimes I can't believe it
|
I'm movin' past the feeling again
|
|
Kids wanna be so hard
|
But in my dreams we're still screamin' and runnin' through the yard
|
And all of the walls that they built in the seventies finally fall
|
And all of the houses they build in the seventies finally fall
|
Meant nothin' at all
|
Meant nothin' at all
|
It meant nothin
|
|
Sometimes I can't believe it
|
I'm movin' past the feeling
|
Sometimes I can't believe it
|
I'm movin' past the feeling and into the night
|
|
So can you understand
|
Why I want a daughter while I'm still young?
|
I wanna hold her hand
|
And show her some beauty
|
Before this damage is done
|
|
But if it's too much to ask, 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 passed
|
So move your feet from hot pavement and into the grass
|
Cause it's already passed
|
It's already, already passed!
|
|
Sometimes I can't believe it
|
I'm movin' past the feeling
|
Sometimes I can't believe it
|
I'm movin' past the feeling again
|
|
I'm movin' past the feeling
|
I'm movin' past the feeling
|
|
In my dreams we're still screamin'
|
We're still screamin'
|
We're still screamin'
|
