The North Lyrics

Don't even try, don't even try

I lack the hope of the common man, but you don't mind
You let me know when I'm out of hand, and that's fine
This night and all of the other nights
We were right to not ever squander pride

All the roads that could take us south were all snowed in
I kept the words that were in my mouth and ate them
My words remind me of the north
On my word, I'll take you to summer

Don't even try, don't even try

I lack the hope of the common man, but I don't lie
You let me know when you find me bland and I'll die
This time and all of the other times
You'd be right to not love in squalor

I know the world's not for me
I long to see you only
I'd like to live with you and the summer
I want to hide from all the others
