O.A.R. - Chicago

There's a place in the valley below us
Where everyone sings with the chorus
And all of the vampires hide in the caves
And as bad as it looks in the mirror
I wanted to see it all clearer
I don't know how much more I can take

But it's a crazy world, I'm a fighter
I've been moving just a whole lot lighter
All my life I tried to get away
From a made-up world, in the morning
I'll be chilling in the city by dawn
And side by side, we'll find a better day

I got a June bug dancing on the back of my leg
Take me to the river, make it on the lake
I got one shot at living, cannot let it escape
Meet me on the mile, gon' ride the wave
And get higher, yeah
We're getting higher, who got the lighter?
'Cause you can't make a living if the living isn't good enough

There's a breeze when I wake in the morning
The city that works got a calling
My feet on division, eyes on the mines
Or we could take it to the south side
We could get a little moonlight
You can find me on the foul line
Roll back, let the Windy City play

June bug dancing on the back of my leg
Take me to the river, make it on the lake
One shot at living, cannot let it escape
Meet me on the mile, gon' ride the wave
And get higher, yeah, yeah
We're getting higher, who got the lighter?
'Cause you can't make a living if the living isn't good enough
No, it ain't good enough
If it ain't good enough, come on

Lift me up, I gotta make it to the water
(You lift me up)
Lift me up, I gotta make it to the water
(Yeah, up)
I said lift me up, I gotta make it to the water
(I can't believe that it's taking so long)
Lift me up, I gotta make it to the water
Because you can't make a living when the living isn't good enough

June bug dancing on the back of my leg
(But you can't make a living if the living isn't good enough)
I got one shot at living, cannot let it escape
(Meet me on the mile, gon' ride the wave)
You know me, I'm getting higher
I'm getting lower than I ever been before
I'm getting higher, getting lower
From my head down to my shoulders
In between there, that's my head gear
Where my nightmares and my dreams live
We getting higher
Getting higher
We getting high
We getting high
