Lyrics:
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 be fighting In a 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 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 built 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 all this 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 we're still waiting It's already past So move your feet from hot pavement and into the grass Cause it's already past It's already, already past

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'
