about

Written by Bobby Loesch

lyrics

Have another drink with me, let's toast to our geography.
It really becomes troubling how day and night
these days and nights can be.
Walk the sidewalk, but it's dead.
Drive the car, even though it's rusted.
I just wanna find someone that can count to 25.

Spend this whole year all alone
or crystallize under thirty feet of snow.

It's a Midwest tradition to write songs about the winter.
When it's over, we survived it.
We stay strong with Banner Pilot.
But until then you'll catch yourself
locked to the mercury every day, but we're alive.

Gaze upon this big city and
we'll try talking honestly.
The Metra will stay down no matter
how angry or passionate you tweet.
Twenties makes you miserable,
so let's call this uncomfortable.
I just want some friends who know
how to count down drunkenly from ten.

It's a Midwest tradition to write songs about the winter.
When it's over, we survived it.
We stay strong with Banner Pilot.
I get so stuck that I can't figure out quite how to move.

So I leave the car,
ignore the scarf,
walk down the block,
head up the steps to talk to you.
