[Verse 1]I heard you have a pretty villa down southThe paint never peels and the grass doesn't dry outThough it hasn't rained in monthsNot even onceAt least it's something to worry about[Pre-Chorus]Cause in the outskirts, comfort comes firstIt's as perfect as it's trueWhen there's an outburst, it could be worseCause it could happen to youBut have you ever seen a view like thisFrom a back porch?[Chorus]But you would never leaveCause what if it's not everything you want?If you couldn't run from everything you've knownAnd it didn't make you feel like your own[Verse 2]I heard you are a part-time patriotLost your drive so you drive to compensate for itNever get at the extend of the streets and dead endsAnd you've memorized all of the names[Pre-Chorus]Cause in the outskirts, comfort comes firstIt's as perfect as it's trueWhen there's an outburst, it could be worseCause it could happen to youBut have you ever seen a view like thisFrom a back porch?[Chorus]But you would never leaveCause what if it's not everything you want?If you couldn't run from everything you've knownAnd it didn't make you feel like you ownWhy can't you leave?I remember fantasies you tellYou're breathing on a glass of a hotelLooking at a city that's so big it can't be real[Outro]So you stay safeAnd wash the bitter taste from your mouthYou look up at the burnt orange sky and wonder whyYou ever dreamt of getting out
