Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Try, try to figure out what it all means
Says the sunset song, "Is this suburbian dream?"
You don't love her, no, you couldn't, couldn't possibly
If you loved her, you'd hate for her to be set free
[Verse 2]
And you know she's going out tonight
To the city where there are bright headlights
Maybe you'll go down there and make it alright
Or just stay home and cry
[Verse 3]
Why don't you tell her, tell that girl
You said forever, ever, oh
[Verse 4]
Taking over ways to show her how you feel
But flowers die and you could never know what's real
Why can't you see how it's meant to be?
She says she loves you but you couldn't, couldn't possibly
[Verse 5]
And you know she's going out tonight
To the city where there are bright headlights
Maybe you'll go down there and make it alright
Or just stay home and cry
[Verse 6]
Why don't you tell her, tell that girl
You said forever, ever, oh
[Verse 7]
How was she supposed to know
If you're meant to be together
If you don't tell her, tell that girl
[Verse 8]
You, you gotta tell her
You're gonna leave her
You're gonna leave her now
You, you gotta tell her
You're gonna leave her
You're gonna leave her now
[Verse 9]
Why don't you tell her, tell that girl
You said forever, ever, oh
[Verse 10]
How was she supposed to know
If you're meant to be together
If you don't tell her, tell that girl
