The sun sets longer where I am from
Where dreams go to die while having fun
The boys fix their cars and girls eat it up
Loving's so good when love is young
Yeah, there's so much history in these streets
And mama's good eats
Oh Wonder on repeat
So much history in my head
The people I've left, the ones that I've kept
Have you heard me on the radio?
Did you turn it up?
On your blown-out stereo
In suburbia, ah-ah
Could be playing hide-and-seek from home
Can't replace my blood
Yeah, it seems I'm never letting go
Of suburbia, ah-ah, ah, ah
Swallow nostalgia, chase it with lime
Better than dwelling and chasing time
Missing occasions, I can't rewind
Can't help but feel I've lost what's mine
Yeah, there's so much history in these streets
And mama's good eats
Oh Wonder on repeat
So much history in my head
The people I've left, the ones that I've kept
Have you heard me on the radio?
Did you turn it up?
On your blown-out stereo
In suburbia, ah-ah
Could be playing hide-and-seek from home
Can't replace my blood
Yeah, it seems I'm never letting go
Of suburbia, ah-ah, ah, ah
They always say that nothing ever changes
Through the new lines that are on their faces
Yeah, they all say that nothing ever changes
Through the new lines that are on their faces, oh
Oh, there's so much history in these streets
And mama's good eats
Oh Wonder on repeat
So much history in my head
The people I've left, the ones that I've kept
Have you heard me on the radio?
Did you turn it up?
On your blown-out stereo
In suburbia, ah-ah
Could be playing hide-and-seek from home
Can't replace my blood
Yeah, it seems I'm never letting go
Of suburbia, ah-ah, ah, ah
