[Verse 1]

Life's been a suburban nightmare lately
You think if I blew this town would you hate me
Think I gotta live in the city for a few years
Baby I'll be back home to visit by new years
I swear
I swear

[Chorus]

Name any other place
You and I we could catch a flight there
Just gotta get away
Can't die in a suburban nightmare
Name any other place
You and I we could catch a flight there
Just gotta get away
Can't die in a suburban nightmare

[Verse 2]

Life's been a suburban nightmare lately
Can't stay in the same place 'til were eighty
Think I gotta be somewhere nobody knows me
You can blame me if you ever get lonely
I guess that's fair
I guess that's fair

[Chorus]

Name any other place
You and I we could catch a flight there
Just gotta get away
Can't die in a suburban nightmare
Name any other place
You and I we could catch a flight there
Just gotta get away
Can't die in a suburban nightmare
Life's been a real bad dream and I can't bare a break up
But life's been a real bad dream and I think I need to wake up
Life's been a real bad dream and I can't bare a break up
But lifes been a real bad dream and I think I need to wake up
Yeah I think I need to wake up
[Outro]

Life's been a suburban nightmare lately
You think if i blew this town would you hate me
Think I gotta be somewhere nobody knows me
You can blame me if you ever get lonely
