In the suburbs I
I learned to drive
And you told me we'd never survive
Grab your mother's keys we're leavin'

You always seemed so sure
That one day we'd fight in
In a suburban world
Your part of town gets minor
So you're standin' 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'

All those wasted hours we used to know
Spent the summer staring out the window
The wind it takes you where it wants to go

At first they built the road then they built the town
La la la la la la la la-aa
That?s why we?re still drivin? round and round
It always seems, the kids and buses longin? to be free

Wasted hours before we knew
Where to go and what to do
Wasted hours that you make new
Turn into a life that we can live

Some cities make you loose your head
La la la la la la la la-aa
Then there?s suburbs stretched out thin and dead
What was that line that you said

Wishin? you were anywhere but here
La la la la la la la la-aa
You watch the life your livin? disappear
And now I see we?re still kids and buses longin? to be free

Wasted hours before we knew
Where to go and what to do
Wasted hours that you make new
Turn into a life that we can live
