I guess we're stuck in this deadbeat place
Where the streets don't change
And every day's the same
I wish I could be anywhere new
There's nothing to do but
It's better with you
This isn't perfect but at least I'm not alone
It isn't much but hey, at least it feels like home
And when suburbia is all you've ever known
Can't stand to stay, can't stand to go
And I hate this place
I've outgrown these walls
Planning my escape
'Cause my world's too small
And I just can't wait 'til I graduate
I hate this place
I spend my Tuesdays at Dairy Queen
Live the teenage dream, laughing in my passenger seat
We drive around like there's something to see
And the people make me forget I wanna leave
This isn't perfect but at least I'm not alone
It isn't much but hey, at least it feels like home
And when suburbia is all you've ever known
Can't stand to stay, can't stand to go
And I hate this place
I've outgrown these walls
Planning my escape
'Cause my world's too small
And I just can't wait 'til I graduate
I hate this place
And if you waste it all dying to go
Then you miss all the moments
You'll be missing most
And I'm not begging to do it again
But I love all my friends and I wrote this for them
'Cause I miss this place
And I love these walls
'Cause the world's so big
And I feel so small
I'll be catching planes
And I'm scared of change
But I love this place
I love this place
