Chicago

lyrics

In an apartment on the north side
Sometime 2009
Every minute looked alive
You never asked what came next
You never bothered to hold your breath
You just looked up at the clouds
Those are not skyscrapers
Those are ticket takers
I want to pay to see the rest of our lives

Oh Chicago
When the days get colder
Put me on your shoulders
I need to see the sun
Oh Chicago
When the waves rush in
Put me on the wind
I need to run

Lake Michigan on your lips
The whole world at your fingertips
Nothing standing in the way
You never asked what came next
You never bothered to hold your breath
You just looked up at the clouds
Those are not skyscrapers
Those are heartbreakers
That remind us of how small we really are

Oh Chicago
When the days get colder
Put me on your shoulders
I need to see the sun
Oh Chicago
When the waves rush in
Put me on the wind
I need to run

Somewhere along the way
You got lost, I got tired
We wound up with empty hands
Now what it is I’m trying to say
Is keep your head up
Double it down
Make some room for big plans

Oh Chicago
When the days get colder
Put me on your shoulders
I need to see the sun
Oh Chicago
When the waves rush in
Put me on the wind
I need to run

Oh Chicago
When the days get colder
Put me on your shoulders
I need to see the sun
Oh Chicago
When the waves rush in
Put me on the wind
I need to run
