Windy City Daydreams
Windy City Daydreams: Love, Luxury, and Midnight Escapades
Lyrics
She said come up to the Windy City
Invitation to visit the Windy City
Heavy on my mind, need to catch my breath
Feeling overwhelmed and needing a break
Voice of velvet and her eyes like whiskey
Describing a woman with a captivating voice and whiskey-colored eyes
Hollywood smile like a movie scene
Comparing her smile to a scene from a movie
Hollywood smile like a movie scene
Repetition for emphasis
Never been a man that need be told twice
Self-reliant and doesn't need instructions repeated
I'm still a victim to the same old vices
Struggling with recurring vices
Spend my money on a red eye flight
Spending money on a late-night flight
And come back to you before the sun does rise
Returning to a loved one before sunrise
Come back to you before the sun does rise
Repetition for emphasis
Lipstick stains on my neck and t-shirt
Physical remnants of intimacy on clothing
Never thought messy could could feel so clean
Unexpectedly finding beauty in messiness
Holds me tight, I could never leave her
Feeling securely held and committed to the relationship
Loves like a woman, never plays no games
Describing a woman's love as genuine and without manipulation
Loves like a woman, never plays no games
Repetition for emphasis
I make sure that she wants for nothing
Ensuring that the woman lacks nothing
She makes sure that I'm doing okay
Reciprocal care in the relationship
Picks me up when I'm beat and battered
Support during difficult times
I'm next to her on her darkest days
Being there for the partner in their darkest moments
I'm next to her on her darkest days
Repetition for emphasis
Don't have money for a brand new mansion
Lack of material wealth but rich in love
Don't have money for a brand new car
Financial constraints regarding possessions
But I'd be a rich man in the lap of luxury
Feeling wealthy through the partner's beauty
If I could write a song half as good as she looks
Expressing inadequacy in songwriting compared to partner's beauty
If I could only write a song half as good as she looks
Repetition for emphasis
She said come up to the Windy City
Reiteration of the invitation to the Windy City
Heavy on my mind, need to catch my breath
Re-emphasizing the overwhelming thoughts and need for a break
Voice of velvet and her eyes like whiskey
Describing the woman's voice and eyes again
Hollywood smile like a movie scene
Comparing her smile to a movie scene again
Hollywood smile like a movie scene
Repetition for emphasis
She said come up to the Windy City
Final reiteration of the invitation to the Windy City
