lyrics

MINNESOTA

Well ain’t that just like you: to go looking for an answer
And that’s just like me: another lost romancer
Elton said it best with another tiny dancer, “Hold me closer”
Let’s make an escape

And I know you felt it here, it was rolling like the ocean
Though these thoughts aren’t very clear, you’re still going through the notion
All the little laughter lines that lead into your face
Tell of another alibi coming from that mouth with haste

So, baby, won’t you meet me up in Minnesota
Bring your heart, bring your scarf, and baby, bring a coat
It gets so cold up there
And I’ve got these arms, these arms, these arms
And ain’t that just like me to get all liquored up
I was selling my heart and I was spilling out my guts
You were always thinking ‘bout the if, ands, or but-
It’s not that far
Said, I just want to be where ever you are
I just want to be where ever you are

Ain’t that just like you to go and searching through the logic
And every single skeleton stored away in closets
Right where you left your heart, right where you thought you lost it
Found in a fallen memory, right where you had forgot it

Now everybody’s watching and they can hardly wait
I can see it in you now that you will want to hesitate
And you will play the hook and I will be the bait
They will watch us
Make our greatest escape

So, baby, won’t you meet me up in Minnesota
Bring your heart, bring your scarf, and baby, bring a coat
It gets so cold up there
And I’ve got these arms, these arms, these arms
And ain’t that just like me to get all liquored up
I was selling my heart and spilling out my guts
You were always thinking ‘bout the if, ands, or but-
It’s not that far
Said, I just want to be where ever you are
I just want to be where ever you are

So baby won’t you meet me up in Minnesota
You know it’s only miles from there to North Dakota
Where your mother and your sisters, and your father waiting there
with their open arms
And ain’t that just like me
to want to put it all together
Despite all the distances and, ooo, the cooler weather
Where playing house and life doesn’t get much better
Where it’s not that far
Said, I just want to be where ever you are
I just want to be where ever you are

I just want to be where ever you are
I just want to be where ever you are
