Northbound
Northbound Dreams: A Journey Through Love and Regret
Lyrics
I had the wool pulled over my eyes
I was deceived or misled.
I heard the singing in the skies
I sensed or experienced something transcendent or extraordinary.
I let a tall drink of water lure me in
I allowed an attractive person to draw me in.
And I drank that tall glass dry
I fully consumed what was initially abundant.
I had a dream we were laying in a field
I had a vivid dream of lying in a field.
Coulda sworn that it was real
I believed the dream to be authentic.
I could compare the sun on my skin in the summer
I can liken the warmth of the sun to the emotions you evoke.
To the way you make me feel
Your impact on me is comparable to the sun on my skin.
So hold up your head now darling
Stay strong, my dear.
It ain't the end I promise
This is not the end, I assure you.
One of these days you're gonna see me around
Someday, you will encounter me again.
Heading northbound
I'm on a journey towards the northern direction.
I got these memories in my head
I carry memories that linger in my mind.
Of the things I shoulda said
I regret not expressing certain thoughts.
I should've told you that all of the stars at night
I should have conveyed that your radiance surpasses even the stars.
Well they don't shine the way you did
Your brilliance outshines the stars at night.
So hold up your head now darling
Remain resilient and optimistic, my love.
It ain't the end I promise
This is not the conclusion, I reassure you.
One of these days you're gonna see me around
One day, our paths will intersect again.
Dreaming 'bout an old guitar
I fantasize about an old guitar.
Was never gonna get me far
An old guitar was not going to lead me to success.
One of these days I'm gonna leave this town
Someday, I will depart from this town.
Heading northbound
I'm heading towards the north.
