“The SuburbsIn the suburbs II learned to driveAnd you told me we'd never surviveGrab your mother's keys we're leavin'You always seemed so sureThat one day we'd fight inIn a suburban worldyour part of town gets minorSo you're standin' on the opposite shoreBut by the time the first bombs fellWe were already boredWe were already, already boredSometimes I can't believe itI'm movin' past the feelingSometimes I can't believe itI'm movin' past the feeling againKids wanna be so hardBut in my dreams we're still screamin' and runnin' through the yardAnd all of the walls that they built in the seventies finally fallAnd all of the houses they build in the seventies finally fallMeant nothin' at allMeant nothin' at allIt meant nothinSometimes I can't believe itI'm movin' past the feelingSometimes I can't believe itI'm movin' past the feeling and into the nightSo can you understand?Why I want a daughter while I'm still youngI wanna hold her handAnd show her some beautyBefore this damage is doneBut if it's too much to ask, it's too much to askThen send me a sonUnder the overpassIn the parking lot we're still waitingIt's already passedSo move your feet from hot pavement and into the grassCause it's already passedIt's already, already passed!Sometimes I can't believe itI'm movin' past the feelingSometimes I can't believe itI'm movin' past the feeling againI'm movin' past the feelingI'm movin' past the feelingIn my dreams we're still screamin'We're still screamin'We're still screamin”
“I ain't movin' to Arizona! Dammit, there is nothin' there but gravel and scorpions.”
“That's life out there. See how it's movin? Even the leaves on the trees is movin'. Life don't wait for nobody, and even as special as you are, it ain't gonna wait for you, neither. So it's time to make up your mind that you're gonna join it.”
“If heartache was a physical pain I could face, I could faceBut your hurting me from inside of my headAnd I can't take it, I can't take itI'm going to lose my mind”
“You can think and you can fight, but the world's always movin', and if you wanna stay ahead you gotta dance.”
“They say you can't escape your past, but I don't believe that. I believe you escape it every day, over and over again, always cognizant of the difference between past and present”
