Father John Misty
The Suburbs
[Verse 1]
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 we're standing on the opposite shore
But by the time the first bombs fell
We were already bored
We were already, already bored

[Chorus 1]
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

[Verse 2]
Kids want to be so hard
But in my dreams, we're still running
And screaming through the yard
And all of the walls that they built in the seventies finally fall
When all of the houses they build in the seventies finally fall
Meant nothing at all
Meant nothing at all
It meant nothing
[Chorus 2]
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

[Verse 3]
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
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

[Chorus 3]
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
And in my dreams we're still screaming
In my dreams we're still screaming
In my dreams we're still screaming
