Some would let it go to start again
Knowing now how all our best intentions
Never lit the world on fire

And the lights illuminate the exit signs
Over the wings the skies and endless open sea
Crowding up, surrounding me

And all of Detroit waves goodnight
Spread out beneath me now
If I could, if I could change
Believe me I would, I would

Well you're warm enough to share your sheets
Cold enough to make it seem
Like I was only there
Long enough to disappear

Well, I'll still say your name to fall asleep
Over and over a cynic saying rosary
A liar making make believe

And all of Detroit waves goodnight
Spread out beneath me now
If I could, if I could change
Believe me I would, I would
And Detroit waves

And Detroit waves
Comes around, around, around
Comes around, around, around
Comes around, around, around again

And all of Detroit waves goodnight
Spread out beneath me now
If I could, if I could change
Believe me I would, I would
And Detroit waves, Detroit waves
