Suburbs
Lost in Suburbs: A Melodic Reflection on Love and Longing
Lyrics
I met you in the summer I was taking off
I first encountered you during the summer when I was starting a new phase in my life.
You couldn't call me out, you wouldn't notice me
You were not able to discern or criticize me; you didn't pay attention to me.
You're somewhere I know, you're calling me
You exist somewhere, and you are reaching out to me.
But should I ever listen to you, do you need me?
However, I question whether I should listen to you and if you truly need me.
'Cause I need you now, I need you now
I am expressing a current need for you, emphasizing the urgency.
I need you now, I need you now
-Somehow Eleanor, I know that you are watching me
A reference to someone named Eleanor, acknowledging that she is observing or aware of me.
From somewhere yet I don't know where you are anymore
Despite her presence, I am uncertain of her location or connection to me now.
I met you in the suburbs, I was seventeen
We first met in a suburban setting when I was seventeen years old.
You couldn't save me then so how can you help me now?
At that time, you couldn't provide assistance, so I question your ability to help me now.
You're somewhere I know, you're calling me
You exist somewhere, and you are reaching out to me again.
But should I ever listen to you, do you need me?
Similar to earlier, I question whether I should listen to you and if you truly need me.
'Cause I need you now, I need you now
I am reiterating my current need for you, emphasizing urgency once more.
I need you now, I need you now
-Somehow Eleanor, I know that you are watching me
A repetition of acknowledging Eleanor's observation of me, despite uncertainty about her whereabouts.
From somewhere yet I don't know where you are anymore
Reiterating uncertainty about Eleanor's location or connection to me in the present.
Somehow Eleanor, I know that you are watching me
Repetition of the acknowledgment of Eleanor watching over me, coupled with uncertainty about her current presence or connection.
From somewhere yet I don't know where you are anymore
