somewhere in chicago

I got into an art school in Chicago
With my friend, we had plans
But I couldn't end up going

He lets me see the view right from his screen
My heart is full that he's finally happy
In the snow, while I'm in California limbo
Wondering how different it would be
With night outs, skylines like the movies
But I guess my scene
Isn't up yet
It just would've been nice
To say I made it

Somewhere in Chicago
With city lights to fall for
And getting lost in dreams and in-between moments
Hoping I could find my place there
It'd just be nice
To be somewhere

Pastel colors fill the undertow
And now its just fragments
And everything I used to hold

With empty pockets full of fantasies
I wait by the wishing well
With no coins to spill
The fountains overfilled anyways
With little kids in a daze
How I envy their gaze at the sky
Is that what it felt like?

Oh I cant remember
So I tried to reassemble
All I've missed
How it'd be nice
To say I made it

Somewhere in Chicago
With city lights to fall for
And getting lost in dreams and in-between moments
Hoping I could find my place there
It'd just be nice
To be somewhere

I wish I could fly
Under these lights
And realign with the stars
Where I think I could die
Beneath this sky
Oh wouldn't it be nice
To say that I'm

Somewhere in Chicago
With city lights to fall for
And getting lost in dreams and in-between moments
Hoping I could find my place there
How it'd be nice
To be somewhere
