Midnight winds are whining, the Summer's turn to snow My heart grows colder than you'll ever know A violent night, Chicago lights give way to the sun and cloudless skies And the moving pictures in my head, over and over again There's nothing I can say, you're miles away You mean the most, but you ran for the coast If there was a way, I'd make you stay In my dreams I see your face, like the pictures in my head; over and over again I never thought we'd say goodbye this soon This was the hardest thing I've ever had to do I've got your back forever and I know you've got mine too So, dry your eyes, your heart is mine; we'll be together soon There's nothing I can say, you're miles away You mean the most, but you ran for the coast If there was a way, I'd make you stay In my dreams I see your face, like the pictures in my head; over and over again If California is my home, then what the hell is Chicago? It's cold and dry and why do I even try to mean something to anyone at all? When we grow old the truth be told, our kids will know the lies were sold We'll live forever in warmer weather There's nothing I can say, you're miles away You mean the most, but you ran for the coast If there was a way, I'd make you stay In my dreams I see your face, like the pictures in my head; over and over again You know this won't be forever You know this won't be forever
