Lyrics to North
Do you ever stop to wonder
Why you look up at the sky?
When you know the party's over
Sitting on the steps outside
And you don't know how you got here
'Cause you got here in the dark
And you wonder where you're going
All your favorite bars are closed
And the door you locked behind you
Feels a little less like home
Does it scare you that the next one that you'll open
Feels so far from where you are?
Call it what it's not, or you can call it something more
Call it what you want, if it's still what you're looking for
It's probably meant for you if it's got you looking North
Why does leaving feel like I can't learn to stay?
Why does the moon pull on tide, when every time it pulls away?
Do you notice that your compass tells you when a change is coming?
Or did it break along the way?
Call it what it's not, or you can call it something more
Call it what you want, if it's still what you're looking for
It's probably meant for you if it's got you looking North
Keep looking, keep putting one foot out in front of the other
Keep looking, keep putting faith in what's beyond the cloud cover
Call it what it's not, or you can call it something more
Call it what it is, when it comes knocking at your door
It's probably meant for you if it's got you looking North
Even if it looks different than before
Why you look up at the sky?
When you know the party's over
Sitting on the steps outside
And you don't know how you got here
'Cause you got here in the dark
And you wonder where you're going
All your favorite bars are closed
And the door you locked behind you
Feels a little less like home
Does it scare you that the next one that you'll open
Feels so far from where you are?
Call it what it's not, or you can call it something more
Call it what you want, if it's still what you're looking for
It's probably meant for you if it's got you looking North
Why does leaving feel like I can't learn to stay?
Why does the moon pull on tide, when every time it pulls away?
Do you notice that your compass tells you when a change is coming?
Or did it break along the way?
Call it what it's not, or you can call it something more
Call it what you want, if it's still what you're looking for
It's probably meant for you if it's got you looking North
Keep looking, keep putting one foot out in front of the other
Keep looking, keep putting faith in what's beyond the cloud cover
Call it what it's not, or you can call it something more
Call it what it is, when it comes knocking at your door
It's probably meant for you if it's got you looking North
Even if it looks different than before
