The Outskirts

Topograph专辑

  • 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 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?
    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

    I 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
    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

    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
