Stuck in the Suburbs - Settle Your Scores

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?

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

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

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

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

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

Stuck in the suburbs

Stuck in the suburbs

Stuck in the suburbs

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

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
