"I-98" lyrics

I-98
I drove through Michigan, you asked me to stay
I told you, "I just can't wait, by the way"
Please, don't forget me after all of these days
You said I can't have it both ways

Look in my soul and tell me if you recognize it
Do I still hold a thousand lakes behind my iris?
I push and pull, loosen my grip, my fingers slipping
I left my home, it didn't stop the world from spinning

I-98
I drove through Michigan, you asked me to stay
I told you, "I just can't wait, by the way"
Please, don't forget me after all of these days
You said I can't have it both ways
You said I can't have it both ways

Three thousand miles, convinced myself there's something better
The pain I caused, the trust I lost, the ties I've severed
I'm here again, just long enough for you to miss me
I pray that you'll forgive me, I understand if you don't

I-98
I drove through Michigan, you asked me to stay
I told you, "I just can't wait, by the way"
Please, don't forget me after all of these days
You said I can't have it both ways
You said I can't have it both ways
You said I can't have it both ways
