"Midwest Rock & Roll" lyrics

July sun stays up till 10
We watched it set every night
12 weeks till it's gone again
Just like back when you were mine
I'm so damn freezing all year
That's why we make out in cars
60 degrees off the pier
Yeah that made us who we are

(1, 2, 3, 4)

I wrote your name in the snow
I'll always love what we were
Longing for something I know
Back when the world didn't hurt
You set your own heart on fire
When you grow up where it's cold
Darkness and teenage desire
Yeah that's midwest rock & roll
Yeah that's midwest rock & roll

Wanted to see the Black Keys
Closest they came was Chicago
Drove down and got drunk and screamed
All the words till our lungs broke
Things change and things stay the same
You moved on I moved away
It's human nature to wonder
And think about if I stayed
But it don't work that way

I wrote your name in the snow
I'll always love what we were
Longing for something I know
Back when the world didn't hurt
You set your own heart on fire
When you grow up where it's cold
Darkness and teenage desire
Yeah that's midwest rock & roll
Yeah that's midwest rock & roll

We were young and we were living
We were right there we were pippin'
Like a summer on lake Michigan
Your life keeps passing by

I wrote your name in the snow
I'll always love what we were
Longing for something I know
Back when the world didn't hurt
You set your own heart on fire
When you grow up where it's cold
Darkness and teenage desire
Yeah that's midwest rock & roll
Yeah that's midwest rock & roll
