In the suburbs, I
I learned to drive
And they told me we'd never survive
Grab your mother's keys, we're leaving
You always seemed so sure
That one day we'd fight in
In a suburban war
Your part of town against mine
So you're 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
Kids wanna be so hard
But in my dreams we're still screaming and running through the yard
And all of the walls that they built in the 70ies finally fall
And all of the houses they build in the 70ies 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 wanna hold her hand
And show her some beauty
Before all this damage is done
But if that's too much to ask, if it's too much to ask
Then send me a son
Under the overpass
Under the parking lot we're still waiting
It's already passed
So move your feet from hot pavement and onto the grass
Cause it's already passed
It's already, already passed
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
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
