about

This song was written shortly after moving from Detroit to Chicago. Maybe it is about that feeling of being surrounded by a million people and feeling completely alone.
It is about missing home, and making a home, and never quite feeling "at home"...

lyrics

I step out of the light
into a night that never ends
I try to navigate my way these days
I guess that just depends
upon what mood I'm in
or how much money I can spend
I spend a lot of time just watching people rush
dragging their kids to catch the bus
they're out the window of my car
they're in slow motion
black and grey, like movie stars

Nothing happens here
summer's been on it's way for years
I pace in circles around the kitchen and I swear,
It's getting colder out there...

I wait
for someone to stop by
just to say "HI"
I smell a stranger in the air, go to the door
but no one's there
Maybe I just smelled a rat the cat killed
and left outside to show he cares

Because nothing happens here...

Maybe I'll sit and watch the train
hear it huuummmmmmm...
then again maybe I'll step inside and ride
here I come
I'll take the Red Line till I end up in the lake
and then I'll swim to Michigan
maybe a fisherman will catch me on his line
and then he'll throw me back again

Because nothing happens here
summer's been on it's way for years
I pace in circles around the kitchen
and I swear
it's getting colder out there
it's getting colder out there
it's getting colder out there...
