Michigan
Beth Amsel
©2005 Good Egg Music
I got dressed under a thirty watt bulb,
but I didn’t pull the string and the room remained cold
in the darkness, when you’re sleeping, it looks so easy
It sounds like a lie but I really don’t care,
if you call my a cab I’ll get out of your hair and
we’ll leave it alone, we’ll leave it unspoken for now.

With my worst laid out on the table, I will offer you what I’m able
You’re the sweetest thing and the hardest, I can’t deny

Michigan, why? Michigan, why?
Michigan, how do you love me like this?

I wrecked the transmission in my neighbor’s new car
I burned out the brakes to get where you are
the nearness of you is a lace tied tight round my heart
I kick at the edges just trying tear loose,
then I turn back around and I reach out for you
and sure as a shot, with the safety off, you’re always here

With my palms turned up on the table, I will offer you what I’m able
You’re the sweetest thing and the hardest, I can’t deny

Michigan, why? Michigan, why?
Michigan, how do you love me like this?
Michigan, why? Michigan, why?
Michigan, how can you love me like this?
Even though I resist

I get dressed under a thirty watt bulb,
but I never pull the string and I never get cold
and in the morning, when you’re waking up,
it looks so easy, it’s so easy, it’s just so, so easy

Michigan, why? Michigan, why?
Michigan, how do you love me like this?
Michigan, why? Michigan, why?
Michigan, how can you love me like this?
Even when I resist.
