Lyrics

Detroit Has a Skyline

As soon as I got home

I reached out for the phone

Drank my sleep from a can

Playing track six, track seven

Again and again

I had a crush

Nothing works out

Well, I had faith

You could not have known

Don't even say it

Meet me again, maybe one mile high

Meet me again, I won't flake this time

Meet me again, maybe a year from now

Meet me again, I think we both remember how

It was no architect designed this view

He could not have known about you

Mousy homes, catacombs

Detroit has a skyline, too

Detroit has a skyline, too

I had a crush

Nothing works out

Well, I had faith

You could not have known

So don't even say it

Meet me again, it is one mile high

Meet me again, and I won't flake this time

Meet me again, maybe a year from now

Meet me again, I think we both remember how

I think we both remember how

I think we both remember, both remember how
