[Verse 1]
I set sail for certain disaster
With every move I make the clock ticks faster
But there's still so many places I'll never see
And too many moments that I should have seized
So when I'm laying on my deathbed
Looking back at the life I've led
Will I hold my head with pride?
Or will my shortcomings eat me up inside?
[Pre-Chorus]
There's gotta be more to life
Than paying bills and waiting to die
I want to do more than just survive
I wanna feel alive
[Chorus]
I'm looking back, looking back
Back on everything I never did
And all the things that I should have said
I'm thinking back, thinking back
Back to when I had a perfect shot
But I didn't take it
Was I too scared or just lazy?
Either way my mistakes still haunt me
Everyone else has it all figured out
But I'm still stuck in the suburbs
[Verse 2]
I've got too much time to ponder
And as my thoughts race I start to wonder
What I could have done differently
And what caliber of man I'd be
And so I'll waste my breath on another distraction
Anything to keep myself from self-reflection
All I do is sit and complain
As I watch all my best years circle the drain
[Pre-Chorus]
There's gotta be more to life
Than paying bills and waiting to die
I want to do more than just survive
I wanna feel alive
[Chorus]
I'm looking back, looking back
Back on everything I never did
And all the things that I should have said
I'm thinking back, thinking back
Back to when I had a perfect shot
But I didn't take it
Was I too scared or just lazy?
Either way my mistakes still haunt me
Everyone else has it all figured out
But I'm still stuck in the suburbs
[Post-Chorus]
Stuck in the suburbs
Stuck in the suburbs
Stuck in the suburbs
[Bridge]
Don't wanna lead a life so ordinary
On the contrary
I just wanna be able to say I spent my time doing something worthwhile
Don't wanna lead a life so ordinary
On the contrary
I just wanna be able to say I fully lived my life
[Chorus]
I'm looking back, looking back
Back on everything I never did
And all the things that I should have said
I'm thinking back, thinking back
Back to when I had a perfect shot
But I didn't take it
Was I too scared or just lazy?
Either way my mistakes still haunt me
Everyone else has it all figured out
But I'm still stuck in the suburbs
