suburbs

suburbs - Maggie Lindemann

Lyrics by：Maggie Lindemann/Catie Turner/Jonny Shorr

Composed by：Maggie Lindemann/Catie Turner/Jonny Shorr

Nauseous in the backseat of an Uber

Trying to sort through all my baggage

But I'm back to back in traffic

Beg the driver can we get there sooner?

Shakes his head asks my opinion

On the music that he's written

I can point out every club

I've cried at before I turned eighteen

The cost of living's getting high

I'd trade my soul for some peace of mind

I could change up my appearance move away across the state

I'd get married to a stranger that one day I'll probably hate

All my life I've wanted more but the lows are getting real high

Well wouldn't that be the life?

I would drink away my problems with some poison in a can

While my husband cheats on me with someone he says is just a friend

A lack of self-awareness I could only fantasize

Well wouldn't that be the life?

What an ending for the hometown hero hero

Falling off the earth just because she couldn't stand it

To feel like an impostor at the local pizza parlor

Where my high school boyfriend's married with a kid

It's easy to romanticize

Big houses and outlet paradise

But every night I pray to die

Wouldn't be that hard to say goodbye

I could change up my appearance move away across the state

I'd get married to a stranger that one day I'll probably hate

All my life I've wanted more but the lows are getting real high

Well wouldn't that be the life?

I would drink away my problems with some poison in a can

While my husband cheats on me with someone he says is just a friend

A lack of self-awareness I could only fantasize

Well wouldn't that be the life?

Wouldn't that be the life?

Oh

Wouldn't that be the life?

Oh
