I crossed the overpass today and I'm never going back felt the cars go by underneath and now I'm never going back If the birds fly south for winter, then why can't you and I? Why can't you and I? I crossed the overpass today I pedaled up that hill with all the strength that I had broke out into the open air and now I'm never going back If the birds fly south for winter, then why can't you and I? Why can't you and I? all the buildings remind me of you the empty rooms and the silent halls there's nothing I can do I'm hearing you through the walls you crossed the overpass today I hope someday you come back to take me away from this college town I'm never going back If the birds fly south for winter, then why can't you and I? Why can't you and I? I crossed the overpass today
