Amber Suburbia

[Intro]
[Verse]
Ten years down the road
Heavy with a lighter load
Golden light hits the glass
Watching all the shadows pass
The corner store feels small
Writing names upon the wall
Just like we did before
Through the open screen door
[Pre-Chorus]
The air is tasting sweet
Beneath my tired feet
I hear the echoes play
From a distant yesterday
[Chorus]
Oh, Amber Suburbia
I don't even know ya
But I remember the glow
Of the kids we used to know
Now you're just a ghost
The one I love the most
Fading in the light
Before the edge of night
[Verse]
Lawn chairs in the weeds
Scattered like some broken seeds
Jenny’s house is painted blue
Something that she’d never do
The driveway crack is wide
Nowhere left for us to hide
Time is just a thief
Giving us a brief relief
[Hook]
Sunlight on the screen
Fading like a dream
Sunlight on the screen
Lost within the gleam
[Chorus]
Oh, Amber Suburbia
I don't even know ya
But I remember the glow
Of the kids we used to know
Now you're just a ghost
The one I love the most
Fading in the light
Before the edge of night
[Bridge]
We were giants in the dark
Running through the local park
Now the swings are rusted red
All the words we never said
Are floating in the breeze
Through the tall and silent trees
I’m grateful for the heat
Even if it’s bittersweet
[Post-Chorus]
Living in the frame
But it’s not the same
Living in the frame
I forget your middle name
We were only young
With songs forever unsung
[Chorus]
Oh, Amber Suburbia
I don't even know ya
But I remember the glow
Of the kids we used to know
Now you're just a ghost
The one I love the most
Fading in the light
Before the edge of night
[Outro]
