[Verse 1]

You're the home state, I'm a native

Midnight blue in the pavement

Over my head you're hanging on

Like shoes on a wire

Frayed at the laces, time lies heavy

On a bar you set high

[Pre-Chorus]

As a glacier melts within

The same ocean he was raised up in

[Chorus]

But I was 9-to-5 and no part time

And livin' up ten stories high

And I saw no, no replica

Oh I saw ya with, no replica

And I still don't

[Verse 2]

I'm the home state, you immigrated

Blue jean blue faded

How'd you get in my system again?

Like the curse of the Cubs

Loyal blood is hard won

On a fence you can't climb

[Pre-Chorus]

Heard a glacier crack within

The same ocean he was raised up in

[Chorus]

But I was 9-to-5 and no part time

And livin' up ten stories high

And I saw no, no replica

Oh I saw ya with, no replica

And I still don't

[Verse 3]

And the apple fell so close

To a tree with fruit too sweet

Yeah that's what ya told me

When I was 9-to-5 and no part time

Saw a Madame Tussauds in the light

Said, that ain't no, no replica

No it ain't no, no replica

[Chorus]

But I was 9-to-5 and no part time

And livin' up ten stories high

And I saw no, no replica

Oh, I saw ya with, no replica

And still don't

No, I still don't

Shoulda told ya

No, I still don't

Shoulda told ya last night
