The Outskirts

Heard you have a pretty villa down south The paint never peels and the grass doesn't dry out Even though it hasn't rained in 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 That you would never leave? 'Cause what if it's not everything you want Ifyou cut and run from everything you've known And it didn't make you feel like your own, oh Heard you were a part-time patriot, lost your drive so you drive to compensate for it Never getting the extent of all 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 That you would never leave? 'Cause what if it's not everything you want If you cut and run from everything you've known And it didn't make you feel like your own, oh Why can't you leave? I remember fantasies you'd tell Like breathing on the glass in a hotel Looking at a city that's so big it can't be real So you stay safe And wash the bitter taste from your mouth You look up at the birds, orange sky, and wonder why you ever dreamt of getting out (Inside of a car vibes)
