Chicago

Tearing through state lines, on I-10 to California driving through the night. Where did you go? I saw your pictures in the snow, the kids and the wife and the New Jersey welcome sign.

(Vs2)

All we need is time. Seize the day at dawn, you′re losing sunlight. You'll never know what lies deep in the shadows, don′t wait til you start a fire.

Hello Chicago, I don't know what you've heard. I went to the left coast to see about a girl. I hear all your tears in the words of those songs. Eleven years was too long.

(Vs3)

Searching for that love you′ll never find,

You are quick to justify, when absolutes are compromised.

You can′t cry 'cause you don′t know me.

I'll never be lost or lonely. I′m always going to make it on my own. Cutting to the core of me, the lyrics and the melodies.

Bridges burn and lessons learn.

Life is a road and you were the wrong turn.

(Ending)

Hello Chicago, what is it you′ve heard?

You are singing mixtape songs tonight, I′m forgetting all the words.

Forgive and forget me, my heart is down in dixie. Windy City skylines will never be my home.

Somewhere out there...
