Breathing in, breathing out
How you been? Settled down?
You feeling right? You feeling proud?
How’re 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

You bought some shit, you search online
You’re getting lost, you’re getting 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 feeling lost
Getting stoned, then kicking rocks (three, four!)

If I get to 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

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
