Grindstone: Love's Erosion Under Lake Michigan's Dawn
Lyrics
Watching the sun come up over Lake Michigan
Reflecting on the sunrise over Lake Michigan.
Letting the morning train drag me away
Allowing the morning train to take the speaker away.
Hard to believe that we’re doing this again
Expressing disbelief at going through a similar situation again.
Hard to believe I didn’t come here to stay
Surprised that the speaker didn't plan to stay despite returning.
Hard to believe you’re sending me back west, but easy to see
Acknowledging the difficulty of parting ways and understanding the reasons.
Why you don’t need me wearing you down
Understanding the necessity of not being a burden or causing distress.

Love’s down to powder and sawdust and grit
Describing the deterioration of love into fragments and harsh elements.
I’d like to call but there’s nothing left to say
Feeling a lack of communication and words to express the current situation.
And I never meant to take advantage of you like I did
Expressing regret for unintentionally taking advantage of someone.
The wind picked up and carried all away
Symbolizing a change in the situation as the wind carries away emotions.
