lyrics

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
