Chicago Lyrics

Crushing dreams an crooked song, ooh ooooh
Trap me in a crowded parking lot, ooh ooooh
I feel the side is turning
The end of the chapter starts to play
Do I really belong here any more? Anyway?

[Chorus]
I can't sleep all night like being stuck in;
Chicago, staring at the ceiling
I'm looking for something to believe in
Walk these city streets
Do you remember me? Remember when;
When I was all you really needed
Chicago oooh I'm leaving

I count my memories of you, ooh ooooh
Empty bottle midnight rendezvous
Outside, insides burning
Do I really belong here any more? Anyway?

[Chorus]
I can't sleep all night like being stuck in;
Chicago, staring at the ceiling
I'm looking for something to believe in
Walk these city streets
Do you remember me? Remember when;
When I was all that you needed
Chicago oooh I'm leaving

I'm leaving

[Chorus]
I can't sleep all night like being stuck in;
Chicago, staring at the ceiling
I'm looking for something to believe in
Walk these city streets
Do you remember me? Remember when;
When I was all that you needed
Chicago oooh I'm leaving

The Phrase That Pays

Crushing dreams an crooked song, ooh ooooh
Trap me in a crowded parking lot, ooh ooooh
I feel the side is turning
The end of the chapter starts to play
Do I really belong here any more? Anyway?

[Chorus]
I can't sleep all night like being stuck in;
Chicago, staring at the ceiling
I'm looking for something to believe in
Walk these city streets
Do you remember me? Remember when;
When I was all you really needed
Chicago oooh I'm leaving

I count my memories of you, ooh ooooh
Empty bottle midnight rendezvous
Outside, insides burning
Do I really belong here any more? Anyway?

[Chorus]
I can't sleep all night like being stuck in;
Chicago, staring at the ceiling
I'm looking for something to believe in
Walk these city streets
Do you remember me? Remember when;
When I was all that you needed
Chicago oooh I'm leaving

I'm leaving

[Chorus]
I can't sleep all night like being stuck in;
Chicago, staring at the ceiling
I'm looking for something to believe in
Walk these city streets
Do you remember me? Remember when;
When I was all that you needed
Chicago oooh I'm leaving

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
