lyrics

I sent you a story about a heat wave in Chicago
And how alone we are, how screwed we are

And I know it will break your heart, like it did mine
And I'll wait for days for you to answer me
If you'll even answer me
Maybe you'll think that I'm pitying you, that I'm being cruel
That I feel so much better than you do
Well, maybe I do

'Cause you got fucked by the very thing
You thought made you strong
Now you're sitting in your living room
And the temperature is rising
Everything slows down, you get quiet
The way you always do
But now there's nobody here
To ask "what the hell is wrong with you"

You started to lose it at age 25
New jobs, new cities, new lives
But you had been pushing them away for a while
Do you even know why?

'Cause I'm sure it did break your heart, like it did mine
And I always get mad when you get hurt
Can you even make it stop?
It's hard to know just how much people care about you
Harder to know how much you can love them
How much you can tell them

Maybe you sent me that story about the heat wave in Chicago
'Cause I'm worrying about you
And maybe that story is not about the way I feel
With the blinds closed and the windows opened

Because no matter how noisy the streets are
It's always louder in your head and you've got to get it out
When everything in your living room is on fire
You start singing at yourself just to get it out
And even though we don't talk much anymore
Even though we're not burning the same way
You're still in my heart

So as the song says
Call your parents when you think of them
And just tell your friends, oh just tell them
