Lyrics
Chicago
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.
Crushing dreams and crooked thought
Trapped me in a crowded parking lot
I feel the tide is turning
The end of a chapter starts today
Do I really belong here anymore, anyway?
I can't sleep on nights like these
Stuck in Chicago, staring at the ceiling
I'm looking for something to believe in
Walk these city streets
Do you remember me? Remember when
When I was all that you needed?
Chicago oh oh, I'm leaving
I count my memories of you
Empty bottles, midnight rendezvous.
Outside, in such burning.
Do I really belong here anymore, anyway?
I can't sleep on nights like these
Stuck in Chicago, staring at the ceiling
I'm looking for something to believe in
Walk these city streets
Do you remember me? Remember when
When I was all that you needed?
Chicago oh oh, I'm leaving.
