House In The Suburbs Lyrics – Charlie Pittman

[Verse 1]
When I grow up, I’ll find the one
We’ll fall in love, a nice house in the suburbs
Not far from your mum’s
And just like a movie
Right from the very first time we meet
You’ll see right through my insecurity, I’ll give you a ring
But I always complicate it

[Chorus]
Maybe it’s fine, yeah, it’s cool
If you only stay the night or your whole damn life

You decide what you wanna do
I’ll take my hand off the self-destruct
Putting all this pressure into you and me
Nothing is forever, that’s a make-believe
Maybe it’s time for breaking the rules
I’ve never met the one, probably never been that too

[Verse 2]
Unconscious deceiving, got you believing
Till I made you fall head over your feet
Smashing into the concrete
A familiar pattern, I never think it will happen
Sure enough I can’t seem to break my habit
God, I’m an addict

[Chorus]
Maybe it’s fine, yeah, it’s cool
If you only stay the night or your whole damn life
You decide what you wanna do (Do)
I’ll take my hand off the self-destruct
Putting all this pressure into you and me
Nothing is forever, that’s a make-believe
Maybe it’s time for breaking the rules (Rules)
I’ve never met the one, probably never been that too
Probably never been that too

[Bridge]
Maybe it’s fine, yeah, it’s cool
If you only stay the night or your whole damn life
You decide what you wanna do
I’ll take my hand off the self-destruct

[Chorus]
Putting all this pressure into you and me
Nothing is forever, that’s a make-believe, yeah
Maybe it’s time for breaking the rules (Rules)
I’ve never met the one, probably never been that too
Probably never been that too
Probably never been that too
