The Suburbs Lyrics

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
and all 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 all 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
