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 thinkin' 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 thinkin' about These boys from northern towns And these boys know better, they take whatever I thought that I needed him, just tryin' 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 thinkin' about These boys from northern towns
