"Michigan, 1975" lyrics - THE GASLIGHT ANTHEM

Don't you know?
I'm not your savior
Just a dream
Dressed up to scare you on Halloween

Don't look up
The sun's gone forever
It's never coming back
And I won't be there if I get a ride tonight

[Chorus:]
'Cause if I could be free, why would I stay chained?
And if that makes you sad, you should be ashamed
And maybe I'm not the one to blame after all
I'm saving up my body for when I'm in love
But if you want me now, you should call me up
'Cause I'm losing my desire for being alive
Tonight in Michigan, in 1975

What's that sound?
The sky is falling
Are you still around
'Cause love doesn't scare me anymore

[Chorus:]
'Cause if I could be free, why would I stay chained?
And if that makes you sad, you should be ashamed
And maybe I'm not the one to blame after all
I'm saving up my body for when I'm in love
But if you want me now, you should call me up
'Cause I'm losing my desire for being alive
Tonight in Michigan, in 1975

[Bridge:]
And the big bad wolf rode his bike into town
And he huffed and he puffed and pushed the kids around
Says he come to find a girl to make his wife
But nobody's darlings

[Chorus:]
And I'm saving up my soul for when I'm in love
So if you want me now, you should call me up
'Cause I'm losing my desire for being alive
Tonight in Michigan, in 1975

[Outro:]
Tonight in Michigan, in 1975
