Lyrics

[Verse 1]
July sun stays up till 10
We watched it set every night
12 weeks till it's gone again
Just like back when you were mine
[Verse 2]
I'm so damn freezing all year
That's why we make out in cars
60 degrees off the pier
Yeah, that made us who we are
[PreChorus]
One, two, three, four
[Chorus]
I wrote your name in the snow
I'll always love what we were
Longing for something I know
Back when the world didn't hurt
You set your own heart on fire
When you grow up where it's cold
Darkness and teenage desire
Yeah, that's midwest rock & roll
Yeah, that's midwest rock & roll
[Verse 3]
Wanted to see the Black Keys
Closest they came was Chicago
Drove down and got drunk and screamed
All the words till our lungs broke
[Verse 4]
Things change and things stay the same
You moved on, I moved away
It's human nature to wonder
And think about if I stayed
But it don't work that way
[Chorus]
I wrote your name in the snow
I'll always love what we were
Longing for something I know
Back when the world didn't hurt
You set your own heart on fire
When you grow up where it's cold
Darkness and teenage desire
Yeah, that's midwest rock & roll
Yeah, that's midwest rock & roll
[Bridge]
We were young and we were living
We were right there, we were pippin'
Like a summer on lake Michigan
Your life keeps passing by
[Chorus]
I wrote your name in the snow
I'll always love what we were
Longing for something I know
Back when the world didn't hurt
You set your own heart on fire
When you grow up where it's cold
Darkness and teenage desire
Yeah, that's midwest rock & roll
Yeah, that's midwest rock & roll
