She's from Chicago and I don't wanna press my luck
Don't tell me she's walking home alone
Downtown I made it up to Pearl Street
Everybody knows the summer got the best of me It seems
Cross my heart till I change my point of view to new
Something tells me that I might be a Montague
But I don't wanna be
She's from Chicago oh way oh
Everything she wanted she'll get easily
She's got the things I can't let go
Looks like she made it because I'm still waiting
Walking in the dark but I got a match lit
Left a bookmark I know she'll find it
Breakdown I'm choking on the little things
Another dirty wish for luck and timing
She'll sing
Maybe next summer for the guy she's bringing home alone
Coulda been me but I got some room to grow
Because I'm twenty three
She's from Chicago oh way oh
Everything she wanted she'll get easily
She's got the things I can't let go
Looks like she made it because I'm still waiting
There's never sense in growing old I give a dime for another show
I'm a little reckless with the things I say we're both still kids at the end of the day
Never quite made it in a picture frame, another pair a lips won't taste the same
Let's just pretend that she never let go, I won't forget and I wanted her to know
Thanks for the summer and sitting in the water our time ran out, but I'm always gonna wonder
I'll miss all the little things I can't explain
Like every single night that she said my name
Thanks for the summer and sitting in the water our time ran out, but I'm always gonna wonder
I'll miss every night that we kept it slow so let's give it up for the city of Chicago
She's from Chicago oh way oh
Everything she wanted she'll get easily
She's got the things I can't let go
Looks like she made it because I'm still waiting
