Suburban legends

[00:00.18] You had people who called you on unmarked numbers

[00:04.70] In my peripheral vision

[00:08.42] I let it slide like a hose on a slippery plastic summer

[00:13.46] All was quickly forgiven

[00:16.38] You were so magnetic, it was almost obnoxious

[00:21.96] Flush with the currency of cool

[00:24.88] I was always turning out my empty pockets

[00:30.46] And when it came to you

[00:32.59] I didn't come here to make friends

[00:36.57] We were born to be suburban legends

[00:40.02] When you hold me, it holds me together

[00:44.01] And you kiss me in a way that's gonna screw me up forever

[00:49.05] I had the fantasy that maybe our mismatched star signs

[00:54.38] Would surprise the whole school

[00:57.30] When I ended up back at our class reunion

[01:02.62] Walking in with you

[01:05.27] You'd be more than a chapter in my old diaries

[01:10.85] With the pages ripped out

[01:13.51] I am standing in a 1950s gymnasium

[01:18.82] And I can still see you now

[01:21.21] I didn't come here to make friends

[01:24.93] We were born to be suburban legends

[01:28.91] When you hold me, it holds me together

[01:32.90] And you kiss me in a way that's gonna screw me up forever

[01:37.94] I know that you still remember

[01:40.88] We were born to be national treasures

[01:45.28] When you told me we'd get back together

[01:49.00] And you kissed me in a way that's gonna screw me up forever

[01:54.59] Tick-tock on the clock, I pace down your block

[01:58.30] I broke my own heart 'cause you were too polite to do it

[02:02.55] Waves crash on the shore, I dash to the door

[02:06.53] You don't knock anymore, and my whole life's ruined

[02:10.52] Tick-tock on the clock, I pace down your block

[02:14.50] I broke my own heart 'cause you were too polite to do it

[02:18.49] Waves crash to the shore, I dash to the door

[02:22.74] You don't knock anymore, and I always knew it

[02:33.36] And my life had been ruined
