From the album: true north, released 11.14.2000 Interscope records/farmclub.com Can you tell me Why have i come? Why am i in chicago? I just wanted to kiss the bride, I didn't think i would be seeing you Chorus: And i had to laugh You were shaking my hand As if we'd never met and i Had to cry 'cause the tears were too wet And my eyes were too full Knowing i was forgettable Did it ever hit you to call - no Phones in your chicago? There's nothing that i need to convey, just
Maybe a small "hello" from la And i had to laugh You were searching your head For the right thing to say and i Had to cry 'cause the tears were too wet And my eyes were too full Knowing i was forgettable I can recall every face that i have ever kissed How did i fall on your "miss miscellaneous" list? And i had to cry There was no other way to express all my joy, And i Had to laugh When i thought of my fate It was all i could do Knowing i had escaped From you
