When we look at each other now, There's no love in our eyes. And when we talk to each other now, We just criticize. And we're trying to be lovers now, We never had to try before. Where's that feeling, That special feeling, We're not feeling any more? Chorus: We can't go on, living like this, Just going through the motions Every time we kiss. Just think of all the good times we miss. Let's get back together, We can't go on, living like this. And tonight, once again, I'll reach for you, And you'll give yourself to me, Like you always do, And we'll fall away, unsatisfied, And lonely at the end. It was so good, once upon a time, Can't we love that way again? Chorus: We can't go on, living like this, Just going through the motions Every time we kiss. Just think of all the good times we miss. Let's get back together, We can't go on, living like this. Let's get back together, We can't go on, living like this.

Memories flood back like photographs All bright and out of focus All drab with muted colors And the whole world smells like True Blue The only brand my grandma smokes And the faintest hint of Coppertone Watch shorebirds circle in real close Oh I know you're gonna go Just please leave me a note I left because you asked me to Operator, take me home I don't know where else to go I wanna die in the suburbs A heart attack shoveling snow all alone If I die, I wanna die in the suburbs These northeast winters make boys into men Staring out at snow-plowed mountains In the parking lots of churches And the city just felt worn out No strength to pick our hearts off the ground We watched the '92 Birds Take the field without Jerome Brown We keep quiet when it gets bad We don't talk about the setbacks They only hear it when your voice cracks Operator, take me home I don't know where else to go I wanna die in the suburbs A heart attack shoveling snow all alone If I die, I wanna die in the suburbs I wanna die in the suburbs (I wanna die in the suburbs) I wanna die in the suburbs (I wanna die in the suburbs) You start remembering (I wanna die in the suburbs) The anniversaries of the bad things (I wanna die in the suburbs) No don't forget (I wanna die in the suburbs) The anniversaries of the bad things (I wanna die in the suburbs) Operator, take me home I don't know where else to go I wanna die in the suburbs A heart attack shoveling snow all alone If I die, I wanna die in the suburbs Operator, take me home I don't know where else to go I wanna die in the suburbs A heart attack shoveling snow all alone If I die, I wanna die in the suburbs I'll die in the suburbs
