lyrics

Lie down let me tell you a story
Let me cover you and keep you safe and small
Can’t you see those dark clouds gathering?
Can’t you hear it on the TV down the hall?

Oh, if we could be halfway out of Michigan
Like blackbirds in the snow
Oh, if we could be halfway out of Michigan
For some reason, I can’t let it go

Today I saw my kitchen floor was dirty
And I went to fill my bucket from the sink
My little boy, standing right beside me
Reaching up and asking for a drink

Oh, if we could be halfway out of Michigan
Like blackbirds in the snow
Oh, if we could be halfway out of Michigan
For some reason, I can’t let it go

Isn’t that the way, isn’t that the way
Isn’t that the way

Why do I feel so helpless
Why do I feel so unworthy of this love
There is poison in the water in Michigan
And they’re telling me it’s clean enough

Oh, if we could be halfway out of Michigan
Like blackbirds in the snow
Oh, if we could be halfway out of Michigan
For some reason, I can’t let it go
I can’t let it go
