[Verse 1]
When I was younger you said to me
Love songs are for lovers
And not for you
So go and write the world the blues
So as I sit down with a pen in my hand
A heart was killed and became a broken man
And I knew
I gotta get out of here too
[Pre-Chorus]
The city lights are calling me
And I am not afraid
The streets are paved with heroes
And they're calling out my name
[Chorus]
So baby let me run away
I'll make my own destiny
Cause this town is killing me
Silently tonight
And baby you can tell it's strange
I'm the boy who got away
Cause this town will murder us
Forget your boyfriend
Fuck suburbia
[Verse 2]
When I was younger you said to me
A white picket fence and a well-groomed man is right
Now go and find yourself a wife
And in all of the cities in all of the world
Will borrow the money and all of the girls
In the night
Cannot get you off my mind
[Pre-Chorus]
The highway lights are broken
Like we're one step closer to God
I live for words I've spoken
And I hate them just because
[Chorus]
So baby let me run away
I'll make my own destiny
Cause this town is killing me
Silently tonight
And baby you can tell it's strange
I'm the boy who got away
Cause this town will murder us
Forget your boyfriend
Fuck suburbia
[Chorus]
So baby let me run away
I'll make my own destiny
Cause this town is killing me
Silently tonight
And baby you can tell it's strange
I'm the boy who got away
Cause this town will murder us
Forget your boyfriend
Fuck suburbia
Fuck suburbia
Fuck suburbia
