Sister City - Highway 60
Told me you were back in town, I didn't know you'd movedHome for the weekend, maybe we should get some food
A year and a half had passed; I guess we went our separate routes
You grew up a little bit; I guess I grew up too
That summer, our summer, I told myself that I was cool just being friends
Sit around and drink and talk about vinyl and old men
Maybe put a movie on, or two; we both can pick one
It doesn't matter what we do to me, with you it'll be fun
And this is what I want every night of my life
But
Highway 60 separates me
Instead I'm drunk, walking down State St. to another party
A party where I don't want to be
Because since you re-entered my life
It's been incomplete
And I know it sounds so fucking cheesy when I say it
But goddamn if I don't mean it
I fucking mean it
My mom would say that I need to cut it out with the cursing
But dad would say strong language for strong situations
Told me once that he was proud of me for being romantic like him
I would like to see his face if I could bring you around again
I wanna bring you around again
But
Highway 60 separates me
Instead I'm drunk, walking down State St. to another party
A party where I don't want to be
Because since you re-entered my life
It's been incomplete
And I know it sounds so fucking cheesy when I say it
But goddamn if I don't mean it
I fucking mean it
Walkin' out of the welfare theater in the cold, we can see our breathe and
Something's weighing on my mind that I just have to tell you
That summer, our summer, you left on me a permanent impression
Yeah, you became the girl by which all others are measured
And nobody stands up to you
It's not even close
And
Highway 60 can't fucking keep me
I'm no believer in destiny
But I believe in you and me
Because since you re-entered my life
It's been incomplete
And I know it sounds so fucking cheesy when I say it
But goddamn if I don't mean it
Please know I mean it
Please let me prove it
