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)
