My Favorite Highway - Steel City lyrics

rate me

She phones home, composed a bit panicked, <br />

Hesitates to confess, she misses the Aletic.<br />

The gulf streams, <br />

The palm trees, <br />

The car keys, <br />

That took you away.<br />

She tries to explain, oh boy... <br />

<br />

I wanna be fixed, don't wanna be broken.<br />

I wanna be closed, don't wanna be open.<br />

The love I thought had died is still alive and<br />

I hope that you don't mind.<br />

Oh, why?<br />

<br />

She says December<br />

Will help me remember<br />

The place that my heart calls home<br />

When the pale city lights are aglow, <br />

And my hearts feeling empty and cold<br />

Oh, yeah.<br />

Well there's one place that I'm dying to be <br />

Steel City, you'll always be a part of me.<br />

<br />

No, it's not what you said, <br />

And it's not how you said it, <br />

But it all came undone the moment you meant it.<br />

I honestly can't believe<br />

Coincidence and possibility could sway, <br />

But I'll try and explain, baby.<br />

<br />

I wanna be fixed, don't wanna be broken.<br />

I wanna be closed, don't wanna be open.<br />

When the stars come out tonight, <br />

I'm sure you'll come to find<br />

The love we had was blind.<br />

Oh, why?<br />

<br />

She says December<br />

Will help me remember<br />

The place that my heart calls home<br />

When the pale city lights are aglow, <br />

And my heart's feeling empty and cold, <br />

Oh, yeah.<br />

Well there's one place that I'm dying to be<br />

Steel City, you'll always be a part of me.<br />

<br />

Searching for something you need, <br />

And as you fall to the floor<br />

You crawl to your knees.<br />

Reach out for something you see, <br />

It's like she was never there.<br />

You're breathing and hold the air, <br />

Like an unanswered prayer<br />

<br />

She says December<br />

Will help me remember<br />

The place that my heart calls home<br />

When the pale city lights are aglow, <br />

And my hearts feeling empty and cold, <br />

Well there's one place that I'm dying to be <br />

Steel City you'll always, <br />

Steel City you'll always, <br />

Steel City you'll always be a part of me.
