Steel City

She phones home composed, a bit panicked

Hesitates to confess she misses the Atlantic

The gulf streams, the palm trees, the car keys that took you away

She tries to explain

Oh boy

I wanna be fixed

I wanna be broken

I wanna be closed

I wanna be open

The love I thought had died is still alive and I hope that you don't mind

Oh I

She says December will help me remember

The place that my heart calls home

When the pale city lights are aglow

And my heart's feeling empty and cold (oh yeah)

Well there's one place I know that I'm dying to be

Steel City you'll always be a part of me

No it's not what you said

And it's not how you said it

But it all came undone the moment you meant it

I honestly can't believe coincidence and possibility could sway

But I'll try and explain baby

I wanna be fixed

I wanna be broken

I wanna be closed

I wanna be open

When stars and hearts align I'm sure you'll come to find the love we had was blind

Oh I

She says December will help me remember

The place that my heart calls home

When the pale city lights are aglow

And my heart's feeling empty and cold (oh yeah)

Well there's one place I know that I'm dying to be

Steel City you'll always be a part of me

Searching for something you need

And as you fall to the floor you crawl to your knees

Reach out for something you see

It's like she was never there

You breathe in and hold the air

Like an unanswered prayer

She says December will help me remember

The place that my heart calls it's home

When the pale city lights are aglow

And my heart's feeling empty and cold

Well there's one place I know that I'm dying to be

Steel City you'll always..

Steel City you'll always..

Steel City you'll always be a part of me
