Alex Chellsen - Northern Blood lyrics

[Verse 1]- Sometimes I miss how you would race friends through the church hall Stirred by the scared mysteries, yet still sick of it all You saw a child smirk in the eyes of a jaded jerk leaning against the wall Once a closed book you unbound with just one look, deciphering every scrawl We wanted to get a jump-start before the engine stalled And were stuck inside the labyrinth of suburban sprawls Like landlocked sailors listen for the ocean inside half-empty bottles of alcohol I fell asleep to you breathing through the stethoscope of uncovered long distance phone calls Young love is trying to run before you know how to crawl We learned to forgive ourselves in the summer we saw the fall [Verse 2]- Neither of us should feel guilty since we're both to blame We were a nuclear family playing war games You said God never changes and I prayed you'd be the same Waiting by the window for a letter that never came Awakened to your reality, is it what you dreamed? (What you dreamed?) Independent mentality with low self-esteem (low self-esteem) I have an escape plan to flee as far as I can from Spokane with some friends in a minivan Wide-eyed boys of the wasteland do not have hand in the cynicisms of man I once knelt on both knees and kissed the state line The doorstep of your home once was a great shrine Your eyes are no longer my guiding lights Holy ground is just dirt above burial sites When waves of nostalgia come in flash floods The last you'll hear from me is the front door thud I'll hitchhike in rain and I'll trudge through mud My love runs deeper than your northern blood
