I used to draw everything I lived in all-day-long daydreams I drew my mother's markers dry An early way of getting high I drew the dogs' hardwood sprawl Warm obstructions in the hall I only captured what I could But I think I was getting pretty good I was getting pretty good And when I set my pencil down Decades later in a different town I left a trail of tired lines That no straight edge could ever guide I spoke to the city and it spoke back "It ain't latitude you lack What lies here is no less true It ain't all just built for you" Oh-oh oh-o-oo-oh I wanna live like that Oh-oh oh-o-oo-oh I want a love that looks back So add a single asterisk For every exit sign I missed Little stars to remind Loose ends that I left untied So when you're ground-down and grey In those gradient weekdays Just remember the gift Is that you get to keep doing it Settle down This shouldn't take too long Draw it out 'Till the highway days are gone Mirrored towns Connections holding strong Hold on I used to draw everything I lived in all-day-long daydreams Oh-oh oh-o-oo-oh I wanna live like that Oh-oh oh-o-oo-oh Yeah, I want a love that looks back I want a love that looks back I want a love that looks back Yeah, I want a love that looks back
