Top Comments of this video!! :3
i cry every time i hear it. sometimes i think i won't, but then i get to "if i could have it back, you know i'd love to waste it again" and the tears come.
i remember when i first found this on youtube, not long after it came out, with the music video, one night in my angsty teenage room, and i knew right away that i'd remember this song. That'i'd carry it with me and keep it close to my heart. I listened to it on repeat for a few days, my little heart was in rags by the end of it.
I grew up in the suburbs in denmark, so the scenery of the american suburbs seemed somewhat foreign, but i felt like i still understood. now, that i've seen the american suburbs myself, and i've moved abroad to a small city that isn't connected to the rest of the world by roads, the suburbs all look more the same to me. i look back on them, and on most days i feel blessed that so much of the mass-depression of the rest of the modern world doesn't seem to apply here. but i have tender days. and i dont think there's any point in being strong and keeping a straight face when my heart feels heavy. so when it does i'll give in, and i'll listen to the music that hurts, and i'll cry my little heart out for a little while. this one evokes painful nostalgia. it feels great to be able to count on something to feel so perfectly eloquent every single time.

In the suburbs, I
I learned to drive
And you told me we'd never survive
Grab your mother's keys, we're leaving
You always seemed so sure
That one day we'd be fighting in a suburban war
Your part of town against mine
I saw you standing on the opposite shore
But by the time the first bombs fell
We were already bored
We were already, already bored
The kids want to be so hard
But in my dreams, we're still screaming
And running through the yard
And all of the walls that they built in the 70s finally fall
And all of the houses they built in the 70s finally fall
Meant nothing at all
Meant nothing at all, it meant nothing
Sometimes I can't believe it
I'm moving past the feeling
Sometimes I can't believe it
I'm moving past the feeling and into the night
So can you understand
That I want a daughter while I'm still young?
I want to hold her hand
And show her some beauty before this damage is done
But if it's too much to ask, if it's too much to ask
Then send me a perfect son
Under the overpass
In the parking lot, we're still waiting, it's already passed
So move your feet from hot pavement and into the grass
'Cause it's already passed
It's already, already passed
Sometimes I can't believe it
I'm moving past the feeling
Sometimes I can't believe it
I'm moving past the feeling again
I'm moving past the feeling
I'm moving past the feeling
In my dreams, we're still screaming
We're still screaming
We're still screaming
If I could have it back
All the time that we wasted
I'd only waste it again
If I could have it back
You know I would love to waste it again
Waste it again and again and again
And all my friends, they were singing
Sometimes I can't believe it
I'm moving past the feeling again
Sometimes I can't believe it
I'm moving past the feeling again
Sometimes I can't believe it
I'm moving past the feeling again
Sometimes I can't

That line... "If I could have it back you know I would love to waste it again..." Love it.
