Stuck in the Suburbs

[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
