[Intro]
In my suburb, you and me
We'll go at night when they're asleep
We'll be the ones that they can't be
In my suburb

[Verse 1]
We live outside the city
So every Wednesday night
You know we take our chances
When we're stepping out of line
We're meeting up at Colin’s
That's where we plan our crime
With whatever we can find
With whatever we can find

[Chorus]
In my suburb, make believe
The picture perfect family
That’s what we expect to be
In my suburb, you and me
We'll go at night when they're asleep
We'll be the ones that they can't be

[Post-Chorus]
Just another, wasted summer, in my suburb!
Just another, wasted summer in my suburb!

[Verse 2]
You have to keep your head down
We know they won't find us
We're heading back to Colin’s
We cover up our faces
In my suburb
In my suburb
Until they're out of sight
Even if they tried
One o'clock at night
Climb into the window
Don't turn on the light
Don't turn on the light

[Chorus + Post Chorus]

[Outro]
Got to make it out alive, or we die (In my suburb)
Got to make it out alive, or we die (In my suburb)

Alec Benjamin

After getting dropped by Columbia Records at 18 years old, singer-songwriter Alec Benjamin built a following by playing in parking lots outside of Shawn Mendes and Troye Sivan concerts. The Phoenix, Arizona native caught the attention of Jon Bellion, earning a songwriting credit on Bellion’s debut album and later joined him on tour.

To build on the momentum, Benjamin began uploading new songs to his YouTube channel at a rapid clip and eventually earned on a viral hit with “I Built a Friend” and a deal with Atlantic Records.

Benjamin connects to listeners by incorporating using his life struggles to tell stories and give meaning to his songs. You can see this in “Let Me Down Slowly,” “Paper Crown,” “I Built a Friend,” “Death of a Hero,” and “If We Have Each Other.”
