Get You Back

Get You Back

Lyrics

If we're ever together in Chicago again
I would take you out to eat at Soul Vegetarian
We could take the El to Reckless, and then
Walk off our fingers for Sarah and Slumberland

And when we grow more hippie than hip let's get haircuts at Milio's
When we wear our suits out at Ragstock we'll get new clothes
We'll reconvene in the museum's hall of armor
To plan our next embattled capture

Either the world or you turned away
You either fell in or out of love
Seems like it takes forever each day
But suddenly you just adjust
Did you forget what it was we were trying to say
Forget what it meant to feel that way
I'll get you back one day
I'll get you back one day

If we're ever together in Chicago again
If they're still there we'll go to Buddy and Heaven
You know we cut our teeth at basement shows
No one would believe we're from around here now, though

We could ride from the Shedd to the Garfield gardens
Get to the Point and jump off at the deep end
Or if it's not August we'll plant ourselves on a bench
And wait until summer has a chance to sink her teeth in

Songwriter Notes

i guess i've been trying to write a song about chicago lately. i've been taking a class in los altos, which is about an hour away from san francisco, going south on caltrain. i've been trying to use the transit time to work on music. this is what i came up with somewhere around redwood city tonight.
