‘Wisconsin’ is about the relationship with Madilyn’s hometown Wisconsin, although she’s now residing in Los Angeles, her hometown has always bonded with her.
She wrote this track with Clifford Goilo, Tienus and Saint Claire last October on a writing camp called CampKimono (week 3) in France.
[Verse 1]
Oh, Wisconsin, how’ve you been?
Tell me, how’s our hometown team
Did they ever win?
Oh, Wisconsin, do you ever think about me?
Am I just another girl who came and went?
[Verse 2]
Oh, Wisconsin, I’m doing great
The traffic’s pretty bad
But I still love it in LA
Oh, Wisconsin, I bet they say I’ve changed
But you and I both know I’m still the same
[Verse 3]
Oh, Wisconsin, what’s new?
Are you still at church by 8AM
And in the bar by noon?
Oh, Wisconsin, I’ve heard you’re movin on
And yeah, that’s fair, I guess that I am too
[Interlude]
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh
[Verse 4]
Oh, Wisconsin, it’s been a minute
All my friends are having kids
And their kids are having kids
Oh, Wisconsin, do you ever wonder if
I did the right thing, I hope I did
[Verse 5]
Oh, Wisconsin, don’t be sad
I’m just a few states over
At Christmas I’ll be back
Oh, Wisconsin, it’s really not so bad
I promise that I’ll call you when I can
I promise that I’ll call you when I can
[Bridge]
It’s eight million, three hundred thousand steps or more
From my doorstep to yours
I counted them last night to be sure
I’ve come too far now
To turn around
[Breakdown]
Oh, Wisconsin, how’ve you been?
Tell me, how’s our hometown team
Did they ever win?
Oh, Wisconsin, do you ever think about me?
Am I just another girl who came and went?
[Outro]
Oh, Wisconsin, my old friend
I didn’t forget about you
Do you remember when
I was thirteen, I’d stay up ‘til 3AM
Singing to no one, you were listening
Oh, Wisconsin, you were always listening
