Tgl The City Of Five Seasons Lyrics

And I’m homesick with state lines.
It's been running through my mind over 1,000 times.
Oh how I miss the city of the five seasons.
My home state, the I O W A.
I know it’s not paradise.
But I’ll gladly suffer the 6-hour drives.
And when I lay my body in my bed I’ll know exactly why I came.

I’ll pray for the next flight home but settle for the highway.
Grab my brush and bag so I can.
Paint this map an equal shade of grey.
To undivide the lines. The ring of the telephone in my ear.
Speak the words that are so hard to hear.
Three minutes of I miss yous and wish you were heres.
It helps me see. The how we chose to be.
Has made us distant. And the distance it means everything.

And if this dance floor clears before the night is through.
We’ll just laugh and surrender our bodies.
And I’ll take her winters.
And I’ll take her summer heat.
Just to be back home.
