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
