I-5 Love Affair Lyrics

Rogue Valley I-5 Love Affair

We grew up on a simple street
Not the best, not the worst
The only thing we knew was the trade
Is true it's the glue that keeps me hanging on

You left me with the feeling you'd be back
I hope you recognize me then
I've never figured out your reticence
I don't care about it now

So you're headed to southern Cal
San Diego or bust

But in El-Ay you get caught up with the scene
And your special gift that keeps the world turning

I don't care about your innocence
It's gone the moment it arrives
I'll never figure out your reticence
I still think about it now

We used to stare at the interstate
Watching the tracks and the bridge shake
Counting California plates
Predicting earthquakes
Letting something in
A seed that found the sun shining down

I knew you wouldn't come running back
I hope I recognize you when
I've never figured out your reticence

I don't care about
I still think about
I don't care about it now
