Hey, BondGirl007, I totally agree. I'd have to say this is easily my favorite Green Day song. I think you're right that it's about boredom and suburban life. I always saw it as being kind of a precursor to "Longview" where this boredom's finally driven him crazy. That and I think the chorus is about those escapes becoming overused and becoming just as boring as his everyday life.
