lirik lagu postcards – detour north
[verse 1]
we’re growing up
and we can’t stop this
and all i hear is the voice of hoppus singing “going away to college”
and if i’m being honest, i’m a little bit upset
that we never even got to go on tour before we left
[chorus 1]
i packed my guts into this suitcase
with just a handful of extra picks and a little bit of toothpaste
because that’s all i’ll need when i’m halfway across the country
it’s time to leave, but can i come back in a month please?
[verse 2]
maybe i should keep my head up
maybe this isn’t a bad thing
maybe i’ll just sort of disappear and everyone will forget me
i keep telling myself that leaving your friends behind is normal
but if there’s sixteen-thousand kids on campus
then why do i feel so alone?
[chorus 2]
how’s chicago doing?
is she better?
does she miss me?
i’m a thousand miles away
it’s like a part of me is missing
is she getting all my postcards?
is she even f-cking listening?
i would k!ll to spend just one more night
on the pier over lake michigan
[bridge]
but, hey. i’m a thousand miles away
and sh-t never looked so gray
i’m a thousand miles away
but i’ll be back again someday
[chorus 1]
