LYRICS:
Maybe it was just that you were saying goodbye
All I know is it was getting harder to look you in the eye
Maybe it was just the way you said my name
All I know is that it came upon me and took me like a freight train
Maybe it was just that you were leaving
All I know is that you started to catch me in some heavy daydreaming
Maybe it was just the mid-July sun
All I know is that I started to wonder if all along I'd been the lucky one
Sometimes I think of Michigan
And the mess that we got in
Don't know what I was thinkin’
Guess I was lookin’ for a better way to lose you
Maybe it was just that you were moving on
All I know is that you got me hearing a different kind of song
So maybe I was seeing if I could make you stay
If I could make you the one that didn't get away
Sometimes I think of Michigan
And the mess that we got in
Don't know what I was thinkin’
Guess I was lookin’ for a better way to lose you
Under the northern sky
We watched the lights
Fire in our eyes
Walked to the river bend
You took my hand and said
‘Oh sweet friend’
Sometimes I think of Michigan
And the mess that we got in
Don't know what I was thinkin’
Guess I was lookin’ for a better way to lose you
Sometimes I think of Michigan
And the mess that we got in
Don't know what I was thinkin’
I guess I found a better way to lose you
A better way to lose you
