lyrics

she kept the house and the kids and the car
he kept his bong and his acoustic guitar
it's really no big deal you'll hear em say
they never really got along anyway

it was just a suburban romance
like something out of a billy joel song
say whatchu want about townie lovers
they really thought they could shake it
they really thought they could shake it, shake it

now she's stressed and overworked and depressed
now he's checking in with all the hoodrats he was so sad to have missed
first time he missed a weekend
she nearly put her fist thru the wall
second time she didn't even bother to call

it's all the same
what would he teach them
just that love is easier for those who leave

it was just a suburban romance
neighborhood kids who looked so cute together
say what you want about the well-wishers
we really thought they could shake it
we really thought they could shake it
it all seemed such a matter of course, of course

children at your feet, how can you call this life complete?
