SUBURBIA

Written by: CJ SMITH

PLEASE, PICK UP THE PHONE.
YOU'LL FIND ME LISTED UNDER Q...
FOR QUIET DESPERATION LIVING WHEN I'M HOME
DON'T PASS ME BY DON'T EVEN TRY
JUST A COFFEE AND SOME COMFORT WILL BE FINE

AND PLEASE PICK UP YOUR PEN NOW AND THEN
JUST A POSTCARD IN A LETTERBOX WILL DO
DROP ME A LINE TELL ME YOU'RE FINE
AND THAT SOMETIMES YOU REMEMBER ME AND SMILE

CAUSE I'M TRAPPED INSIDE SUBURBIA AND I'M LIVING IN MY MIND
AND I'M MOWING LAWNS ON WEEKENDS AND I'M WORKING NINE TO FIVE
AND THAT'S ALRIGHT IF BLIND AMBITION DOESN'T HOLD YOU IN ITS SWAY
BUT I DREAMED THOSE DREAMS A YOUNG MAN DREAMS
AND I PISSED THEM ALL AWAY

SO PLEASE ONE DAY WILL DO
DON'T LEAVE ME STRANDED IN SUBURBIA
AND GASPING FOR THE LIFE THAT I ONCE KNEW
WENT BY TOO FAST LET'S SHARE A LAUGH
JUST AN HOUR OR TWO TO TALK ABOUT THE PAST

I REMEMBER ALL THOSE LONELY TOWNS WHEN THE BAND WAS ON THE ROAD
ALL THE ONE NIGHT STANDS ALL THE PARTIES ALL THE DAWNS
AND WE THOUGHT WE WERE INVINCIBLE AND WE THOUGHT WE'D NEVER DIE
BUT THE FLAME BURNED OUT AND SUDDENLY WAS GONE

PLEASE PICK UP YOUR PEN NOW AND THEN
JUST A POSTCARD IN A LETTERBOX WILL DO
PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TELL ME YOU'RE FINE
AND THAT SOMETIMES YOU REMEMBER ME AND SMILE

CAUSE I'M TRAPPED INSIDE SUBURBIA AND I'M LIVING IN MY MIND
AND I'M MOWING LAWNS ON WEEKENDS AND I'M WORKING NINE TO FIVE
AND THAT'S ALRIGHT IF BLIND AMBITION DOESN'T HOLD YOU IN ITS SWAY
BUT I DREAMED THOSE DREAMS A YOUNG MAN DREAMS AND I PISSED THEM ALL AWAY

PLEASE PICK UP THE PHONE
YOU'LL FIND ME LISTED UNDER Q...
FOR QUIET DESPERATION LIVING WHEN I'M HOME
DON'T PASS ME BY DON'T EVEN TRY
JUST A COFFEE AND SOME COMFORT WILL BE FINE
