“We never planned to make a video for this song. I think what we ended up with is a portrait of coastal suburbia that feels true to me. It was important for it to be understated and to portray a queer experience that wasn’t traumatic, sexualised or strung to an impossible kind of love as it so often is on screen. ”

Lyrics

People say the world can change
Far out here forever stays the same
Waiting on the corner for you babe

All the kids drive around
Nothing better than the edge of town
A few will try but no one′ll make it out

All the longing to be something more
All of the dreams that don't work out
(Falling for ya)
I think I′m falling for ya

If you ever wanna pick me up
I'm on the other side of your neighbourhood
Drive out to where there's nothing but the two of us
Until we disappear, until we′re gone

I think it′s funny how I've spent my life
Dying to get out of this town alive
Prayin’ for a way until you arrive
You make the most ordinary things sublime

Running home made you tough
Lonely in the town that you hated for
So many years now all you wanna do is stay (stay)

I was a little kid they all beat up
Used to call me a faggot, now I′m falling in love
Who'd have thought in these streets I′d be falling in love?
I think I'm falling for ya

If you ever wanna pick me up
I′m on the other side of your neighbourhood
Drive out to where there's nothing but the two of us
Until we disappear, until we're gone

I think it′s funny how I′ve spent my life
Dying to get out of this town alive
Praying for a way until you arrive
You make the most ordinary things sublime

I can't help myself think about you naked
Leave the party with me, they′re devastated
Listening to Lorde with the windows down
I never wanna leave this town

If you ever wanna pick me up
I'm on the other side of your neighbourhood
Drive out to where there′s nothing but the two of us
Until we disappear, until we're gone

I wanna spend my life
Dying in this town with you by my side
You know I′ve never felt more alive
You make the most ordinary things sublime

Your neigh-eh-eh your neighbourhood
Your neigh-eh-eh your neighbourhood
Your neigh-eh-eh your neighbourhood
Your neigh-eh-eh your neighbourhood

Your neigh-eh-eh your neighbourhood
Your neigh-eh-eh your neighbourhood
Your neigh-eh-eh your neighbourhood
Your neigh-eh-eh your neighbourhood
