Lyrics
Steel City
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
She phones home composed, a bit panicked
Hesitates to confess she misses the Atlantic
The gulf streams, the palm trees, the car keys that took you away
She tries to explain
Oh boy
I wanna be fixed
I wanna be broken
I wanna be closed
I wanna be open
The love I thought had died is still alive and I hope that you don't mind
Oh I
She says December will help me remember
The place that my heart calls home
When the pale city lights are aglow
And my heart's feeling empty and cold (oh yeah)
Well there's one place I know that I'm dying to be
Steel City you'll always be a part of me
No it's not what you said
And it's not how you said it
But it all came undone the moment you meant it
I honestly can't believe coincidence and possibility could sway
But I'll try and explain baby
I wanna be fixed
I wanna be broken
I wanna be closed
I wanna be open
When stars and hearts align I'm sure you'll come to find the love we had was blind
Oh I
She says December will help me remember
The place that my heart calls home
When the pale city lights are aglow
And my heart's feeling empty and cold (oh yeah)
Well there's one place I know that I'm dying to be
Steel City you'll always be a part of me
Searching for something you need
And as you fall to the floor you crawl to your knees
Reach out for something you see
It's like she was never there
You breathe in and hold the air
Like an unanswered prayer
She says December will help me remember
The place that my heart calls it's home
When the pale city lights are aglow
And my heart's feeling empty and cold
Well there's one place I know that I'm dying to be
Steel City you'll always..
Steel City you'll always..
Steel City you'll always be a part of me
