Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I was running down the road
The fear was all I knew
I was looking for a soul that's real
Then I ran into you
And that cherry blossom tree
Was a gateway to the sun
And friendship once it's won
It's won, it's won
[PreChorus]
Northside
Just across the river
To the Southside
That's a long way here
[Chorus]
All the green and all the gold
The hurt you hide, the joy you hold
The foolish pride that gets you out the door
Up on Cedarwood, Cedarwood Road
[Verse 2]
Sleepwalking down the road
And not waking from these dreams
'Cause it's never dead, it's still my head
It was a warzone in my teens
I'm still standin' on that street
Still need an enemy
The worst ones I can't see
You can, you can
[PreChorus]
Northside
Just across the river
From the Southside
That's a long way here
[Chorus]
All the green and all the gold
The hurt you hide and the joy you hold
The foolish pride that sends you back for more
Up on Cedarwood, Cedarwood Road
[Verse 3]
Ah-ah
[Bridge]
If the door is open, it isn't theft
You can't return to where you've never left
Blossoms falling from a tree, they cover you and cover me
Symbols clashing, bibles smashing
Paint the world you need to see
And sometimes, here's the only place we can call our home
Cedarwood Road
[Verse 4]
Ah-ah
[Outro]
And a heart that is broken
Is a heart that is open
Open, open
