Northern Towns

Where'd you learn to talk like that?
Let's go outside so I can see your breath
I wanna feel everything you've got to say

Tell me
You grew up tall and sturdy
Good set of shoulders
Somebody's brother
And you don't wanna hurt me
But we'll probably end up without each other

These boys from northern towns
Could chew me up and spit me out
And I'd like the way it felt
Still wake up thinking about these
Boys from northern towns

Came up unpretentious
In 20th century, two story houses
And it's hard not to miss him
He talks like the places that I was raised in

These boys from northern towns
Could chew me up and spit me out
And I'd like the way it felt
Still wake up thinking about these
Boys from northern towns

These boys know better
They take whatever
I thought that I needed him
Just trying to be like him
Walking home with my heart on his sleeves
I would keep it and leave
If I knew how to be like these boys

These boys from northern towns
Could chew me up and spit me out
And I'd like the way it felt
Still wake up thinking about these
Boys from northern towns
