Suburban Legends
You had people who called you on unmarked numbersIn my peripheral visionI let it slide like a hose on a slippery plastic summerAll was quickly forgivenYou were so magnetic it was almost obnoxiousFlush with the currency of coolI was always turning out my empty pocketsAnd when it came to you
I didn’t come here to make friendsWe were born to be suburban legendsWhen you hold me it holds me togetherAnd you kiss me in a wayThat’s gonna screw me up forever
I had the fantasy that maybeOur mismatched star signsWould surprise the whole schoolWhen i ended up back at our class reunionWalking in with youYou’d be more than a chapter in my old diariesWith the pages ripped outI am standin’ in a 1950s gymnasiumAnd i can still see you now
I didn’t come here to make friendsWe were born to be suburban legendsWhen you hold me it holds me togetherAnd you kiss me in a wayThat’s gonna screw me up forever
I know that you still rememberWe were born to be national treasuresWhen you told me we’d get back togetherAnd you kissed me in a wayThat’s gonna screw me up forever
Tick-Tock on the clockI pace down your blockI broke my own heart‘Cause you were too polite to do it
Waves crash on the shoreI dash to the doorYou don’t knock anymoreAnd my whole life’s ruined
Tick-Tock on the clockI pace down your blockI broke my own heart‘Cause you were too polite to do it
Waves crash to the shoreI dash to the doorYou don’t knock anymoreAnd i always knew itThat my life would be ruined
Watch now
