I just woke up again to the sound of
Your finger tap tapping on a radio wave
Signals weak but it's still coming through to me
Soft spoken but I'm an honest man
A warm grip in my callused hands
Another live wire beating on a metronome
Another live wire beating on a metronome
I can't go back again I'm not ever going back to Michigan any time
Meanwhile I'm not trying to hurt you
Valley quality in my skin and my eyes
And my bones are thin
I'm sorry I couldn't find the words to please you
Clock ticking couldn't find my words
A different poem and a different verse
I know she's looking at me but I'm looking at you
Last call then you're on your own
I heard your voice through the telephone
Another live wire beating on a metronome
Another live wire beating on a metronome
I can't go back again I'm not ever going back to Michigan any time
Meanwhile I'm not trying to hurt you
Valley quality in my skin and my eyes
And my bones are thin
I'm sorry I couldn't find the words to please you
There's no telling what will be but I wouldn't change a thing
I'm so sorry to see you go but I wouldn't change a thing
I can't go back again I'm not ever going back to Michigan any time
Meanwhile I'm not trying to hurt you
Valley quality in my skin and my eyes
And my bones are thin
I'm sorry I couldn't find the words to please you
