The D In Detroit Lyrics
Feeling the time peel away at my life again
As memories combine, not sure where I've never been
'Cause it's the 'D' in Detroit which scares me to no end
I'll count to ten
When living this down makes so much sense.
We collide and onward we do fly
We collide and onward we do fly
Onward until we meet again
I kept your picture just behind the eye
Those weeks when our distance grew
Drove north where I found you waiting in Des Moines
Thank god i'm not losing you
And girl I hope you're not alone and sleep through this weather
And girl I hope you're whole again
back home we'll sleep better.
We collide and onward we do fly
We collide and onward we do fly
I kept your picture just behind the eye
Those weeks when our distance grew
Drove north where i found you waiting in Des Moines
Thank god I'm not losing you
And girl I hope you're not alone and sleep through this weather
And girl i hope you're whole again, back home we'll sleep better.
As memories combine, not sure where I've never been
'Cause it's the 'D' in Detroit which scares me to no end
I'll count to ten
When living this down makes so much sense.
We collide and onward we do fly
We collide and onward we do fly
Onward until we meet again
I kept your picture just behind the eye
Those weeks when our distance grew
Drove north where I found you waiting in Des Moines
Thank god i'm not losing you
And girl I hope you're not alone and sleep through this weather
And girl I hope you're whole again
back home we'll sleep better.
We collide and onward we do fly
We collide and onward we do fly
Those weeks when our distance grew
Drove north where i found you waiting in Des Moines
Thank god I'm not losing you
And girl I hope you're not alone and sleep through this weather
And girl i hope you're whole again, back home we'll sleep better.

Awesome song. What more can I say...
any song by the anniversary is of course going to be awesome and unique, but this is the first one that drew my attention to them. the title may throw some people off into thinking that its more of a goofy type song but actually its pretty deep
This is the first song I ever liked by The Anniversary!! It's still one of my favorites!! They kick ass in concert!! I love the title of it too :-) haha Of course they had to play this song at St. Andrew's in Detroit!! Anyways... it's a sad song, but I love it! Especially "I kept your picture just behind the eye those weeks when our distance grew"
this is an incredible song, im not a big fan of the anniversary..but i really love this song. and i agree, i think a lot of their titles push people away because they sound stupid
this is great...just plain great. I really like the last part..."girl i hope youre not alone and sleep through this weather and girl i hope youre whole again, back home we'll sleep better." those are just great lyrics.
yeh this song really is beautifully poetic and emo. the first 4 songs of this album just go together so well and i think this is a wonderful climax to that progression. of course the whole album is 10 deep and i love all the songs, but this little ditty about love and separation stands out.
makes one feel special living in detroit. great song, great band. cant wait to see them again..in detroit.
wow i love this song its great but then again i havent heard a bad song from the anniversary :) :) :) PeaCE -JoN.G. AIM : iamthepooman
sort of makes me wish i lived in Detroit.
I love the Anniversary, but i recently heard that they broke up. I wish they would get their act together because they made amazing music. this is one of my favorite songs, and the first song i ever heard by them. I saw them in concert a couple years ago with dashboard confessional, and ben kweller...amazing show.
