Iowa Songtext
von Balance Problems

I only knew you from
Three months of tour, and a cellular phone
We talked of the midwest
And i learned all of that you left behind

Oh and the loss runs deep
Your father and a friend are rug-pulled from your feet
But i′ll try and give you a place
To lay your tired head,
And hide your lonely face

There's a bed waiting for you,
There′s a light that i left on,
There's a purpose in the distance in
The things that i've done wrong


You came to stay with us
A week in the south, you weren′t missing much
The day that you left it rained
And the cold weather up north was calling your name
So i helped you pack your bags
Folding your shirts, the clothes on your back
Home never felt so far
And the morning i found sweaters you dropped in my front yard

There′s a bed waiting for you,
There's a light that i left on,
There′s a purpose in the distance in the things that i've done wrong

Be careful how you hold yourself, i know
You worry what might happen but i swear it wont
So i′m waiting for your voice to make a sound
But i know every word before they leave your mouth

~Chorus~
There's a place that you live in,
A town that you call home
There′s a state that you visit,
But you never stay too long
