The Outskirts

Lirik
I heard you have a pretty villa down south

The paint never peels and

The grass doesn't dry out

Though it hasn't rained months

Not even once at least

It's something to worry about

'Cause in the outskirts comfort comes first

It's as perfect as it's true

When there's an outburst

It could be worse

'Cause it could

Happen to you but have you ever seen

A view like

This

From a back porch

But you would never leave

'Cause what if it's not everything you want

If you couldn't run from

Everything you've known

And it didn't make you feel like your own

Ohoo oho

Heard you are a part time patriot

Lost your drive so you drive

To compensate for it

Never get at the extend

Of the streets and dead

Ends

And you've memorized all of the names

'Cause in the outskirts comfort comes first

It's as perfect as it's true

When there's an outburst it could be worse

'Cause it could happen to you

But have you ever seen a view like this

From a back porch

But you would never leave

'Cause what if it's not

Everything you want

If you couldn't run from

Everything you've known

And it didn't make you feel like you own

Ohoo oho

Why can't you leave

I remember fantasies you tell

You're breathing on a glass of a hotel

Looking at a city

That's so big it can't be

Real

Yeah

So you stay safe

And wash the bitter taste from your mouth

You look up at the burnt

Orange sky and wonder

Why

You ever dreamt of getting out
