Boy From The North

He came on strong, my boy from the North

Knew what he wanted and went for it

Chasing me around all over town

Saying things he had no business saying out loud

Making me laugh like I haven’t laughed in years

Now I’m up in the sky

Looking down at the clouds

Drinking whiskey and trying to drown him out

And I’m wondering why

Just like that

If the heart don’t lie

What made you take it all back

His mind is a mess, my boy from the North

Always second guessing his own worth

But when a round of applause is your favourite sound

Keeps the demons at bay and your feet up off the ground

Still he made me laugh like I haven’t laughed in years

Now I’m up in the sky

Looking down at the clouds

Drinking whiskey and trying to drown him out

And I’m wondering why

Just like that

If the heart don’t lie

What made you take it all back

He made me laugh but I’m not laughing now

Chameleon, you can’t please every crowd

So I’m in the sky looking down at the clouds

Drinking whiskey and I’m trying to drown you out

And I’m wondering why, just like that

If the heart don’t lie

What made you take it all back

He came on strong, my boy from the North

And he does the best he can

But baby I don’t need a boy

I need a man
