Thank you Troye, for writing a song that reminds me both of my childhood and the fact that in just a year and a half my subu...
[Verse 1]
The sun sets longer
Where I am from
Where dreams go to die
While having fun
Boys fix their cars and
Girls eat it up
Lovin's so good when
Love is young
[Pre-Chorus]
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 loved
The ones that I've...
[Chorus]
Have you heard me on the radio?
Did you turn it up?
On your blown-out stereo
In suburbia, woah
Could be playing hide and seek from home
Can't replace my blood
Yeah, it seems I'm never letting go
Of suburbia, woah
[Verse 2]
Swallow nostalgia
Chase it with lime
Better than dwelling
And chasing time
Missin' occasions
I can't rewind
Can't help feel I've lost what's mine
[Pre-Chorus]
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...
[Chorus]
Have you heard me on the radio?
Did you turn it up?
On your blown-out stereo
In suburbia
Could be playing hide and seek from home
Can't replace my blood
Yeah, it seems I'm never letting go
Of suburbia, woah, woah
[Bridge]
They all say that nothing ever changes
Through the new lines that are on their faces
Oh, they all say that nothing ever changes
Through the new lines that are on their faces, oh
[Pre-Chorus]
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...
[Chorus]
Have you heard me on the radio?
Did you turn it up?
On your blown-out stereo
In suburbia, woah
Could be playing hide and seek from home
Can't replace my blood
Yeah, it seems I'm never letting go
Of suburbia, woah, woah
[Outro]
Oh, woah
Oh-oh...
