Northern Boy

Give me your hand and we can say hello
Your daddy is big but his mind is slow
Meet me out the back in ten
She's tired of playing pretend

If she calls, I will tell her
If she calls tonight
If she calls, I will be there
I'll be there just like a light

Don't be afraid to love
And this ain't a game of love
And don't be afraid to love and love again
I don't get the way you feel
And this ain't a movie reel
And don't be afraid to love and love again

I'm making my way to my brother's house
He's calling her phone while she's holding her blouse
She snuck out the back with some Northern boy
Now she's sleeping in a forest trying to find some joy

Don't be afraid to love
And this ain't a game of love
And don't be afraid to love and love again
I don't get the way you feel
And this ain't a movie reel
Don't be afraid to love and love again

And can't you hear me scream out?
For broken hearts on the run
And can't you hear me scream out?
For broken hearts on the run

We'll take a trip to California
And we'll forget what we've lost
We'll take a trip down to the coastline
Where lost angels are cursed

And there's a brunette drinking coffee
The coffee's cold like my heart
And there's a birthmark on her shoulder
A birthmark I've seen from the start

And don't be afraid to love
And this ain't a game of love
And don't be afraid to love and love again
I don't get the way you feel
And this ain't a movie reel
And don't be afraid to love and love again
And don't be afraid to love and love again
