Are You Chicago? | Illinois

from A Song For Every State by Travis Ehrenstrom

lyrics

You can quench me,
But I never run dry.
You would say,
“There’s a lighthouse,
For empty vessels and shipless souls.”
That’s an ocean, I’ll never know.

On the first day of the winter,
I held your body close to mine.
When I was a train wreck,
You were Casey Jones.

Just two heartbeats in the freezing…

Are you Chicago?
Are you these city lights?

For a while, I did imagine,
That you were nothing but the past.
But this dream is never ending,
And you can hold it in your hand.

All along I was pretending,
That we were angels,
When we were ghosts.
There’s a letter that I never sent you,
But you should know what I wrote.

Are you Chicago?
Are you these city lights?

Come tomorrow, I’ll lay my weapons down.
For now it’s over, chances taken.
When you are married and I am searching,
Then maybe God is somehow watching us.
