North Shore Ballad

It's so easy to sit here And just let the train Carry me to you So much harder to stand On my own two feet But at some point I've just got to move And I know I have trouble sleeping alone And I know that your side of town's no longer my home But my heart wants to go North And my head says "get off next stop" Turn around now The only thing Waiting for you Up there Is lost And often I daydream Of you showing up Unannounced, uninvited Just, come on, show up I swear it's not fair That I love you so much There's just only so much of me That I can adjust When I boarded the train I was feeling okay But the further it takes me The more I want to stay So I guess I'll keep going Yes, I'll keep hoping It rains and The station Is closed and You kiss me While we both Are soakin' Left my mind in the North Shore And some clothes in your drawer And it's getting colder And your bed is warmer But my heart wants to go North And my head says "turn around, girl" Run as fast as you can I could run to the other side of the world Gonna book the next flight As far South as I can Maybe Texas, Brazil I don't care where I land You and I were wrong I know this now But it still feels like home On your side of town You and I were wrong I know this now But it still feels like home On your side of town
