American Suburbs - Beekman

Everyone around me Girls at the party We pull up deep Cause they can't tell us nothin The gang too chic so they talking about it This ain't my scene let me know where you're waiting It wasn't about being with somebody else I was just locked in and working on myself Driving in the east end coming your way In the suburbs for the weekend at your place On the highway tryna make my way to you Baby stay up for me until I come through I need a break from everybody actin' new You never switched up on me I rely on you I got way too much to prove 'em In the stu' promise I'll come I know you're getting impatient But I do it for my day ones And you'll see when all is done Imma get to your location It wasn't about being with somebody else I was just locked in and working on myself Driving in the east end coming your way In the suburbs for the weekend at your place On the highway tryna make my way to you Baby stay up for me until I come through I need a break from everybody actin' new You never switched up on me I rely on you You shouldn't care about what they say I can tell em all straight to they face that I don't need more than one in your place You see me out and I know u feel ways But I'm On the highway tryna make my way to you Baby stay up for me until I come through I need a break from everybody actin' new You never switched up on me I rely on you

Can I be your lover In the Southern Suburbs? I wanna run for cover Under the canopy Can I please come over In my green Land Rover? You're like a bossa nova Playing in the heart of me Fill a bowl with roses When evening closes In on my dreams Come and cool my forehead And put me in my bed I feel feverish And I know it's not the truth It's only me and only you But it's an endless fall I'm falling And I can only heed my calling Can I be your lover In the Southern Suburbs? I wanna run for cover Under the canopy Can I please come over In my green Land Rover? You're like a bossa nova Playing in the heart of me I could hear you coming You were a hummingbird Hovering I think you're so pretty Not far from the city In our Eden And I know it's not the truth It's only me and only you But it's an endless fall I'm falling And I can only heed my calling You keep me hanging tight Suspended like an epiphyte And I won't let go I know that I'm right My love Don't try to calm me down Don't calm me down Calm me down I'll calm down Can I be your lover In the Southern Suburbs? I wanna run for cover Under the canopy Can I please come over In my green Land Rover? I wanna take you over Like you're taking over me Can I be your lover In the Southern Suburbs? I wanna run for cover Under the canopy Can I please come over In my green Land Rover? You're like a bossa nova Playing in the heart of me

It's funny you should ask me why I never visit home It's just awkward that your company makes me feel more alone And I'm tired of pretending nothing's wrong We used to get our laughs in the cheapest fucking ways It never seemed mean but I've been thinking back these days And I'm the one that changed Sometimes I wish you could do the same I've been trying to wash these words off of my lips Find something honest to replace them with And I don't hate you I just know you'll never get it, and you don't have to get it And I wish you wouldn't ask about my best laid plans You wouldn't like the answer if I had one And your disappointed looks always keep me on the hook But I refuse to die for that This isn't what you want, but this isn't about you I'm just trying to flush the suburbs from my blood And I'm scared that you're the person I'll become And I don't hate you I just know you'll never get it And you don't have to get it You just have to respect it I'm just trying to clean the garbage from my floor Or maybe just hide behind my door I don't hate you I just know you'll never get it We'll probably just forget it

All the different colored versions of you Reflected back from a bubble that's been Carried off for a mile or two I think I'm gonna be in trouble because I wanna stay and count the days since I've been gone I wanna stay awake each night and watch the dawn I'm gonna wish on a star And I don't care if it comes true I'm gonna wish on a star Because it makes me think of you Every time I look up at the stars I wonder if our dreams come true But I'm gonna wish on a star And hope it leads me back to you Have you measured out the string it will take To keep your kite flying higher You keep on running but the wind will not take You're holding on to the wire I'm a dew-dropper I just like to waste my time My thoughts aren't free but you can have them for a dime I'm gonna wish on a star And I don't care if it comes true I'm gonna wish on a star Because it makes me think of you Every time I look up at the stars I wonder if our dreams come true But I'm gonna wish on a star And hope it leads me back to you I'm gonna wish on a star And I don't care if it comes true I'm gonna wish on a star Because it makes me think of you Every time I look up at the stars I wonder if our dreams come true But I'm gonna wish on a star And hope it leads me back to you Oh

How are you how have you been holding up I won't lie I will tell you it's been rough I don't like to see what I've become I don't know if you can tell I'm numb I remember when we had control Back when I believed in pots of gold At the end of rainbows shining bright Can I stay here can I spend the night Where did your mind go Where did your mind go Where did your mind go Where did it go I'll admit that I'd listen to you sleep To try to hear unconscious thoughts of me It's so sad you think you're on your own I just want to tell you to come home If you want I can play your favorite song I can try but I might get it wrong Was it too ra loo ra loo ra lay Can't remember any other name Where did your mind go Where did your mind go Where did your mind go Where did it go How are you how have you been holding up I won't lie I will tell you it's been rough It's so sad you think you're on your own I just want to tell you to come home Where did your mind go Where did your mind go Where did your mind go Where did it go

We're doomed to fate so we're told We live to die when we get old Being born was a lottery but I didn't buy my ticket and Where are the things they promised When they said that we made progress Now and then the change gets hard for me and I don't think that I can continue so We'll build a house with a rope swing Hanging from the branch off the front yard tree Watching sticks they fall in the grass green I don't wanna be I don't wanna be Anyone I'll leave the light on when you're gone Even when you're working into the dawn Laying out the bricks on the front lawn I just wanna be I just wanna be Anyone How long have we been starving While we watch our future char and burn In the wake of an avalanche We're somewhere underneath the surface No more can we see Zion When we find that hill to die on Down the street there's a beautiful view But I don't want to see it so We'll build a house with a rope swing Hanging from the branch off the front yard tree Watching sticks they fall in the grass green I don't wanna be I don't wanna be Anyone I'll leave the light on when you're gone Even when you're working into the dawn Laying out the bricks on the front lawn I just wanna be I just wanna be Anyone If we're speaking honestly I Couldn't see past seventeen why Do we let ourselves believe in Good and bad and odd and even All the things that I want to move and All the things that I can't prove can Pile up overwhelm my brain Make me feel like I'm insane We'll build a house with a rope swing Hanging from the branch off the front yard tree Watching sticks they fall in the grass green I don't wanna be I don't wanna be Anyone I'll leave the light on when you're gone Even when you're working into the dawn Laying out the bricks on the front lawn I just wanna be I just wanna be Anyone Oh oh I just wanna be I just wanna be Anyone
