Here I go again, with a simple dream
Feels like it’s real, not from a movie scene
Beauty in the everyday, normal routine
Home in the suburbs, like on TV
Begin with four walls, then add a roof
Get a floor plan, divide in some rooms
Estate living, with excellent schools
The last time I’ll ever have to move
Lay down some roots, stay through the winter
Weekends by the fire and guests for dinner
I Feel like a winner with my killer casserole
Kids running around, take some paracetamol
Lose the remote control, another anecdote
Family dog in the backyard, lost his bone
Dug everything up, like a combat zone
Laughed about it with relatives on the phone
Another birthday, counting on the years
Delicious cake and another three cheers
To health, to life, to another great 12 months
And to the clean air filling up my lungs
Breathe out, watch the air when I exhale
From snow to summer shine, from sun to hail
Stay together through it all, without fail
The suburban dream described in vivid detail

A wife, a couple kids, you know a family
in a nice house, on a nice street
With a stable job and no worries
Living life, like a movie
Watch the years pass, enjoy the ride
With my only love, by my side
Feel so alive, without a care
Close my eyes, I’m almost there

This is the white picket fence, I envision
The nuclear family depicted on television
The way every episode, was always written
Like on every show, even on the Simpsons
Even so this dream feels so animated
Cause real life is so much more calculated
Wish I could trade it, and just live in this dream
Take me away from the burdens of reality
To that nice big house in the suburbs
Volvo in the driveway, audi on the curb
Living undisturbed, in our little cul-de-sac
Quietly pay off the loan from the local bank
And coast a long without any residual fear
So bring on the next 30 plus mortgaged years
And give me a viable career, to support this all
To provide this roof and these four walls

A wife, a couple kids, you know a family
in a nice house, on a nice street
With a stable job and no worries
Living life, like a movie
Watch the years pass, enjoy the ride
With my only love, by my side
Feel so alive, without a care
Close my eyes, I’m almost there

I’m almost there

A wife, a couple kids, you know a family
in a nice house, on a nice street
With a stable job and no worries
Living life, like a movie
Watch the years pass, enjoy the ride
With my only love, by my side
Feel so alive, without a care
Close my eyes, I’m almost there
