Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Don't be in love
I'm not your savior
Just a dream
Dressed up to scare you
On Halloween
Don't look now
The sun's gone forever
It's never coming back
And I won't be either
If I get a ride tonight
[PreChorus]
'Cause if I could be free
Why would I stay chained?
And if that makes you sad
You should be ashamed
And maybe I'm not the one to blame after all
[Chorus]
I'm saving up my body for when I'm in love
But if you want me now, you should call me up
'Cause I'm losing my desire for being alive
Tonight, in Michigan, in 1975
[Verse 2]
What's that sound?
The sky is falling
Are you still around?
'Cause love doesn't scare me anymore
[PreChorus]
'Cause if I could be free
Why would I stay chained?
And if that makes you sad
You should be ashamed
And maybe I'm not the one to blame after all
[Chorus]
And I'm saving up my body for when I'm in love
But if you want me now, you should call me up
'Cause I'm losing my desire for being alive
Tonight, in Michigan, in 1975
[Bridge]
And the big bad wolf rode his bike into town
And he huffed, and he puffed, and pushed the kids around
Says he's come to find a girl to make his wife
But we're nobody's darlings
[Chorus]
And I'm saving up my soul for when I'm in love
So if you want me now, you should call me up
'Cause I'm losing my desire for being alive
Tonight, in Michigan, in 1975
[Outro]
Tonight, in Michigan, in 1975
