been dodging around all their love in my mind
and hiding in attics, saying everything is fine
that everything is perfect, and I don't have a thought to lend
and I can't take myself seriously so how could any of them?
but I'm turning green with envy and calling it inspiration
and so
I am going North where the cold will set me free
I am going North to see what it's like to be lonely
I am going North just to get away from me
been playing death scenes in my mind
and talking to mirrors, saying everything is fine
that I don't have to worry that any of this will end
but a look and a touch can make me seventeen again
and I'd like to be myself this time, but it's damned easy to pretend
and so
I am going North where the cold will set me free
I am going North to see what it's like to be lonely
I am going North just to get away from me
and I wish you were here to make my folly clear
'cause I've had enough--yes I've reached the end
and I could use the warmth of a friend
been picturing Oregon in my head
and thinking too much of every single thing you've said
like how I seek perfection where there is none to find
and my life is torn to pieces, but only in my mind
and I'd put it back together if I only had the time
and so
I am coming home where the cold is in the sea
I am coming home where I never have to be lonely
I am coming home--I just want to be me

you should do what you want to
live like you ought to
please take your time now
please take your time now
just don't keep us waiting
this morning I grew
I learned something new
let me try to remember
let me try to remember
you said being lonely
is different from solitude
but I can't tell the difference
no I can't tell the difference
you should do what you want to
live like you ought to
please take your time now
please take your time now
just don't keep us waiting
I want to discover
something to remember
nothing too complex
a new way for my heart to beat
so I'm coming back now
the same way I left you
my hands are both open
nothing but myself
