Lyrics

Ooh-ooh-ooh
I'm laughing at myself as I cry into my cereal bowl
It's funny how we talked all last night
Then I woke up more alone
Consume me at your chosen pace
Is all you'll ever do
But you can't have your cake and eat it too
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
200 miles north of your bridge and I can breathe again
We rode our bikes up there that first summer to watch the sunset
Things were fresh between us but even then I knew
It'd take a lot of work to get through to you
And I did all I could do
So now I go north
It's always been the one true course
Yeah, I go north
Back to where I was before
I spent all my time down there
Trying to get you to care
Stop the closing of the door
But you won't find me in that room anymore
Now that I go north
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
It didn't take me long to redirect my energy
As you grow up I'll be out-growing you
And that's comforting
I should've put myself, not us, first all along
I'm glad I took my dad's advice and fucked off
Oh, I spent so long speeding south
So now I go north
It's always been the one true course
Yeah, I go north
Back to where I was before
I spent all my time down there
Trying to get you to care
Stop the closing of the door
But you won't find me in that room anymore
Now that I go north
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Oh, take all the time you need
Waiting for it to come organically
Or you can call me when you're ready
But just don't expect me to be free
'Cause I went north
I had to follow my own course
Yeah, I went north
Like you wanted me to before
I spent all my time down there
Wish I still didn't care
That you couldn't walk through that door
But you won't find me holding it open anymore
'Cause I went north
200 miles north of your bridge
And I can breathe again
