Cincinnati

Well hey, Cincinnati All I have is this interstate But we can drive In this California valley I can be your Cincinnati Or at least I can try I could be your Cincinnati Do you really miss a winter? And how it covers up the rest Or is the silence just a weapon Against the letter on my chest? I miss your permanently feeling They’re in her ear and yelling ‘treason!’ Glad I’m far enough away that I can’t hear that But I keep walking the wire suspending Hey, Cincinnati All I have is this interstate But we can drive In this California valley I can be your Cincinnati At least I can try I could be your Cincinnati, and I’ll love you faster than the limit And you’re halfway home So I guess we’re taking the long road Why can’t we drive? If you just left town Let me be the reason you turn around And we can drive Back into the fire together We can drive Back to Cincinnati

Hey, Cincinnati

WONDER

I bet you wonder what’s way beyond the thunder I bet you noticed when it used to give me purpose I set a match fire because I needed light in here I bet you noticed yeah, you made my dark disappear I wonder where you’re wandering in California through the wind? Did you finally make it back to Austin? I think that’s where we were when we lost it Damnit, all we had was a cloud of dust I think the shadows out here are connecting us in my ears there’s still thunder and I wonder if you wonder I bet you wonder what’s way beyond the thunder I bet you noticed when it used to give me purpose we find a memory, then wake up in the next what’s your forever? But you’re the high I won’t get back and god, I wish I could tell you that I bet you wonder what’s way beyond the thunder I bet you noticed when it used to give me purpose I bet you wonder I wonder where you’re wandering in California through the wind? Did you finally make it back to Charlotte? I think that’s where we were when we caught it Damnit, all we were was a cloud of dust now the atmosphere is collecting us in my ears there’s still thunder and I wonder if you wonder I bet you wonder what’s way beyond the thunder I bet you noticed when it used to give me purpose I bet you wonder
