our summer in illinois

Have you seen the milky way from illinois
Have you seen the comets dance like fire in the summer sky
Have you seen the milky way from illinois
Well we’re half way there
While you’re waiting for something to happen
It’s right outside your door
You lived your life in the safest way
Follow footsteps already made
But today, the street signs point new ways, to faraway
Outside your window the colors the burning as light years pass you by
You’d never guess on a night like this
You would leave your world behind
Because today, the street light show new ways, so faraway
We’ll meet you there
