"the suburb blues" out may 18th.

lyrics

summer's almost here and we can't wait to not do anything
schoolwork's kicking my ass but i'll meet you by the tire swing
we'll laugh until the existential dread all goes away
and we've nothing left to do but drive around this town all day

we've barely got three traffic lights to regulate our roadways
we drive our cars to parking lots and think about the old days
when no one really cared 'bout much of anything at all
writing people's names in hearts in pen on bathroom stalls
i wanna run with you

show me who you really are tonight
tell your mom you'll come home soon, we'll be back at first light
show me all the places that you hide
come on kasey anne, it's time for us to turn the tides

summer's finally here, and we are speeding down the bright lit streets
draining every second, making sure that we make history
get inside my car, we'll drive across three different towns
looking for a place where the suburb blues can't bring us down
i wanna run with you

show me who you really are tonight
tell your mom you'll come home soon, we'll be back at first light
show me all the places that you hide
come on kasey anne, it's time for us to turn the tides

we're not quite single stoplight, but we're pretty fucking close to it
the sweatshirt that you stole from me is too big by the looks of it
but i don't really care cause how you wear it makes me smile
and i am quite content just looking up at ceiling tiles

no, we're not quite single stoplight, but if we were any other place
i'd know that you were lonely by the look that i'd see on your face
and we may say we hate it here but this is all we know
and you may move down south, but you will always miss the snow

show me who you really are tonight
tell your mom you'll come home soon, we'll be back at first light
show me all the places that you hide
come on kasey anne, it's time for us to turn the tides
