lyrics

I know you love the horizon
I guess the line of my jaw just can't compete anymore
And all the old architecture built a love in your heart that I just couldn't seem to keep standing up

I hate the way all the buildings form the ugliest smile
That sneering skyline that stole you away
Or could it be?
That I was the fool misunderstanding those glassy monuments for what you'd never be to me.

This windy city - it could have been ours.

I can't believe how hard I fell for the pretty eyes on an empty girl.
You're just like all those skeletons that haunt the waterfront
A sad reminder of something structural that once was.

There's just no way you could possibly afford that apartment
Or think your problems could be solved by that move.
Or could it be?
That it's not me that was making you so unhappy
And you're just selfish and have something to prove.

This windy city - it could have been ours.
It could have been ours
No, you can't have this city all to yourself.
