Chicago Lyrics by Highly Suspect

The Boy Who Died Wolf

2016

[Verse 1]
Why am I fucking up so bad?
What am I even doing?
When am I ever gonna learn
What it is she already knows?

[Pre-Chorus]
Baby, I met you in downtown Chicago
But I, I had to drive away the very next day
So I flew your pretty ass to New York City
And I, I left you in L.A

[Chorus]
Was it love, or my fantasy?
Was it real, or just a dream?

[Verse 2]
Remember one night getting too fucked up in the Hamptons at Tom's
I fell off his bike and girl, you laughed at me so hard
Spent a whole week getting drunk on the dunes of Cape Cod
That's when you met my father

[Chorus]
Was it love, or my fantasy?
Was it real, or just a dream?
Was it love, or my fantasy?

[Bridge]
'Cause sometimes you get so angry
And I take it personal
And I should've known
That you were only hurtin'
'Cause life can be uncertain
When you're only 19 years old

[Verse 3]
So it's another late night out here in California
And I'm, I'm burying my pain into somebody else
And now you're back at home livin' with your mama
Got my first record sittin' on your shelf

[Chorus]
Was it love, or my fantasy?
Was it real, or just a dream?
Was it love, or my fantasy?
Was it real?

[Instrumental]

[Outro]
Well baby, I met you in downtown Chicago
But I had to drive away the next day
So I flew your pretty ass to New York City
Then I, I left you in L.A
