Lyrics
Memories flood back like photographs
All bright and out of focus
All drab with muted colors
And the whole world smells like True Blue
The only brand my grandma smokes
And the faintest hint of Coppertone
Watch shorebirds circle in real close
Oh
I know you're gonna go
Just please leave me a note
I left because you asked me to
Operator, take me home
I don't know where else to go
I wanna die in the suburbs
A heart attack shoveling snow all alone
If I die, I wanna die in the suburbs
These northeast winters make boys into men
Staring out at snow-plowed mountains
In the parking lots of churches
And the city just felt worn out
No strength to pick our hearts off the ground
We watched the '92 Birds
Take the field without Jerome Brown
We keep quiet when it gets bad
We don't talk about the setbacks
They only hear it when your voice cracks
Operator, take me home
I don't know where else to go
I wanna die in the suburbs
A heart attack shoveling snow all alone
If I die, I wanna die in the suburbs
I wanna die in the suburbs (I wanna die in the suburbs)
I wanna die in the suburbs (I wanna die in the suburbs)
You start remembering (I wanna die in the suburbs)
The anniversaries of the bad things (I wanna die in the suburbs)
No don't forget (I wanna die in the suburbs)
The anniversaries of the bad things (I wanna die in the suburbs)
Operator, take me home
I don't know where else to go
I wanna die in the suburbs
A heart attack shoveling snow all alone
If I die, I wanna die in the suburbs
Operator, take me home
I don't know where else to go
I wanna die in the suburbs
A heart attack shoveling snow all alone
If I die, I wanna die in the suburbs
I'll die in the suburbs
