"St. Paul / Minneapolis (A True Story)" lyrics

It was St. Paul / Minneapolis
Just up the street from where we play
When this stranger brought a happiness
I think about most every day

Lost in search of a solution
You appeared out of the blue
Now I'm left with this illusion
Someday I'll run back into you

'Cause life is hard and sometimes harder
But you were easy as a smile
And all I know is someone's daughter
Has had me wonderin' for a while
Might as well be wishin' upon a distant star
'Cause I don't know who you are

Now I'm not lookin' for relation
And I don't want to change your life
When my heart beats in frustration
When I think of you and wonder why

'Cause love is hard and sometimes harder
But you were easy as a smile
And all I know is someone's daughter
Has had me wonderin' for a while
But I might as well be wishin' upon a distant star
'Cause only you know who you are

And as I tried to go unnoticed
I never looked into your eyes
So if you did not recognize me
I'm left alone to realize
That my wish will stay forever in the stars
'Cause even you don't know who you are

It was St. Paul / Minneapolis
