girl in michigan

I still think about you every time I’m driving alone in my truck

Backroads playing country songs with my phone faced down

Trying not to call you after midnight like I used to do

But every road somehow still leads me back to you

Playing baseball out in Oakland, living out this dream

But it don’t feel half as good as everybody thinks

Cause the one girl I keep missing’s back in Michigan

And no matter where I go, I can’t get over it

We were never really official, never really clear

Just late night snapchats and you laying next to me here

Laughing at nothing till the sun came up again

Acting like we both weren’t falling in

I unadded you twice like that would change a thing

Like deleting your name would stop the hurt it brings

Then you blocked me and honestly I can’t blame you now

I was too scared to say what I was feeling out loud

I brought another girl to that wedding back home

But the whole night I still felt alone

Cause every slow dance made me wish you were there

And every smile I faked just felt unfair

I miss drunk texting you at 2 AM

Miss your name lighting up my phone again

Miss nights at your place when the world slowed down

Just me and you nowhere else around

Now I drive around thinking about what we were

About your laugh, your voice, the way I would brush your hair when it was a mess

And I swear Michigan’s the only place I wanna be

If staying there meant you’d still want me

Everybody thinks this baseball life’s enough somehow

But I’d trade a lot just to have you with me now

Cause somewhere between Texas dust and Michigan snow

You became the hardest thing I ever let go
