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
