Breathin' in, breathin' out
How you been? Settled down?
You feelin' right? Feelin' proud?
How are your kids? Where are they now?

You build a boat, you build a life
You lose your friends, you lose your wife
You settle in to routine
Where are you? What does it mean?

If I get too close and I'm not how you hoped
Forgive my northern attitude, oh, I was raised out in the cold
If the Sun don't rise till the summertime
Forgive my northern attitude, oh, I was raised on little light

Mm

Bought some shit, you search online
You're gettin' lost, you're gettin' high
All alone, late in life
Scared to live, scared to die

You build a boat, you build a life
You lose your kids, you lose your wife
You settle down, you're feelin' lost
You're gettin' stoned, then kickin' rocks (three, four)

Ayy, ay-ay, ayy, ay, ay-ay
Ooh, ooh-ooh
If I get too close and I'm not how you hoped
Forgive my northern attitude, oh, I was raised out in the cold
If the Sun don't rise till the summertime
Forgive my northern attitude, oh, I was raised on little light

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, ah-ah-ah-ah (ah-ah, oh)
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, ah-ah-ah-ah (ah-ah)
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, ah-ahh-ah-ah (oh)
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, ah-ah-ah-ah (ah-ah)

If I get too close and I'm not how you hoped
Forgive my northern attitude, oh, I was raised out in the cold
If the Sun don't shine till the summertime
Forgive my northern attitude, oh, I was raised on little light
