I'll tell you in street intersections
'Cause they give you a place to go
Give meanings to lines on maps
And tell you how you're gonna to get home
Now I'm back here in the Midwest
Where everything's familiar and sincere
And everything's external
Nothing just happened to you here
In between coasts

Looking for what it was you lost on 2nd street
Forgot what it was on Washington
And you let it go, you let it go, you let it go
Because you know that map book's long gone
We're still in town, now isn't that fun?
Yeah, isn't that fun?

Now I know there's been some hard times
And I don't mean you and me
You're over believing', back to forgettin'
And you're turning on TV
And what you see just makes you numb
And the headlines all [bad word] a blur
And the years and the lies scroll by
n the bottom of that screen, like desert sand
And we're entrenched in a mess
Embedded in our beds, sleepin' in
What I wouldn't give to want to live like I once did

Looking for what you lost on 2nd street
Starin' through the windows of my friends
And I can see all their loveliness
Imagining all the clocks ticking and
Big black clouds over their heads
And we're waitin' for the hesitation to end

This town is way too small
To ever need the bus
So meet me at the pool
That they keep unlocked all night
For us
