Suburbia

Remember how we used to be so unafraid
 Of the world outside your windowpane
 In a constant state of misbehaviour
 Nothing to lose, and nothing to live for
 Nothing to prove, no rings on our fingers
 Protected by a plastered castle of picture books
 Why did we leave that life behind?
 Meet me by the cul-de-sac on heart attack avenue
 Where the trees are black with thunderstorm residue
 Bring a pair of gloves and your turbulent attitude
 And your honeysuckle breath
 Why did we leave that life behind?
 In suburbia
 Let's go and chart the uncharted
 Suburbia
 I'll take you back where we started
 Suburbia
 I don't care what they say, we belong in suburbia
 Hop a fence with me,
 stop the settling down - we're meant to be loud and proud
 Of the glass we break,
 all the Saturdays spent pounding the pavement without
 A care in the world while our parents are
 so misinformed of what we do when we're bored
 Oh, they grow up so fast
 Why did we leave that life behind?
 In suburbia
 Let's go and chart the uncharted
 Suburbia
 I'll take you back where we started
 Suburbia
 I don't care what they say, we belong in suburbia
 (Break)
 So when you're old and grey, wrinkles where your makeup used to be
 Will you still be hungry for adventure, will you still remember me?
 When the sun wakes up tomorrow, today will be a memory
 Time goes by so quickly when you're living in a suburban fantasy
