Arcade Fire - The Suburbs lyrics

rate me

In the suburbs I

I learned to drive

And you told me I'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

You put it down against mine

I saw you standing on the opposite shore

Nobody down 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

The kids won't be so hard

In my dreams we're still screaming

Running through the yard

And all the walls that they built in the 70s finally fall

And all of the houses they built in the 70s finally fall

It meant nothing at all

It 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 into the night

I just can't understand

How I want a daughter while I'm still young

I want to hold her hand

Show her some beauty

Before this damage is done

But if it's too much to ask

If it's too much to ask

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 moving past the feeling

Sometimes I can't believe it

I'm moving past the feeling again

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
