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
