1. Boomerang my head
Back to the city i grew up in
Again and again and again and again
Forever I'm a lake effect kid
I've got the skyline in my veins
Forget your night times
Summer love on a gurney with the squeaky wheel
And Joke us, Joke us
'Till Lakeview Drive comes back into focus
2. Joe: Where are you from?
Steph: I'm a lake effect kid.
