Description

The city is noisy, spinning in its doors, and thoughts are constantly trying to rush ahead. But as soon as you leave the motorway, everything becomes simple: birdsong instead of sirens, sunshine instead of neon lights, and the person without whom even the walls of your home feel empty. And it turns out that paradise is not palm trees and the ocean, but an ordinary summer, a couple of turns off the motorway and the feeling that there is a place on earth where you can breathe easily.

Lyrics and translation

Original

I been wondering, what's it for

Tired of running and running, I'm stuck in revolving doors

It's crowded, in my head

We could go to a place that I know takes off the edge

I feel at home around you

Look what you've done to me, me

I could see us in the suburbs

Take the exit off the freeway, always driving under 35

Kinda makes me wonder

If we could leave the world behind and set up camp, live in the simple life

I only want the Sunday nights in the backyard, we don't have to drive too far

You put me in that state of mind

I could see us in the suburbs

Never thought I'd be that person, but with you it sounds like paradise

You can say the word

Where it's quiet on the street

Where we don't have to talk, we can hear each other think

Swap the sirens for the birds

In a house that feels like the only place on earth

It's not a home without you

Look what you've done to me, me

I could see us in the suburbs

Take the exit off the freeway, always driving under 35

Kinda makes me wonder

If we could leave the world behind and set up camp, live in the simple life

I only want the sunday nights in the backyard

We don't have to drive too far

You put me in that state of mind

I could see us in the suburbs

Never thought I'd be that person, but with you it sounds like paradise

One day

One day

We could leave this place

One way

One way

Say you feel the same

One day,

One day

We could leave this place

You put me in that state of mind

I could see us in the suburbs

Never thought I'd be that person, but with you it sounds like paradise
