The Suburbs Lyrics - Pocketknife - Mr. Little Jeans

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 fightin' in the 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 

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 built in the seventies finally Fall 

Nothin' at all 

It meant nothin' 

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 

Show her some beauty, before the 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 I'm still waiting 

It's already passed 

So move your feet from hot pavement and into the grass 

'Cause it's Already past 

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 

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
