Northbound - Very Long List

To Rate
I just want to feel alive
For the first time in my life
I wanna see you in the limelight, girl
I want you with me all the time

‘cause if we get sober
We’ll never get old until we die
And i should’ve told you
I feel like i’ve known you my whole life

Where’s that sense of adventure?
That i had in all my younger years
Mid october, the stereo screaming
One hand on your lap, one hand on the feeling

But as i get older
The chip on my shoulder is hard to hide
And as i get older
The child within me starts to die

And if you asked me to stay
I’d be leading with this
You’re on a very long list of the things that i miss
So, won’t you hold me like you did that night?
Well, maybe, i know otherwise

Where’s that sense of danger?
That i felt, when we were just two kids
In a bedroom, both skipping school
And you were stealing your mom’s pills
We would just lay there, and stare at each other every night
Well, that was the moment that i knew what love was, then, watched it die

And if you asked me to stay
I’d be leading with this
You’re on a very long list of the things that i miss
So, won’t you hold me like you did that night?
And if you want to play along, i’ll go in for the kiss
You’ve got a love like a bullet, and i’m taking the hit
A voice says, “this won’t last more than tonight”
Well, maybe, i know otherwise

Maybe, i know otherwise
I’m begging you to stay the night
‘cause i can be the suitor type
So over and over again
This is the soundtrack to my mistakes
This is the soundtrack of all my pain

And if you asked me to stay
I’d be leading with this
You’re on a very long list of the things that i miss
So, won’t you hold me like you did that night?
(just a little closer)
And if you want to play along, i’ll go in for the kiss
(in for the kiss)
You’ve got a love like a bullet, and i’m taking the hit
(taking the hit)
A voice says, “this won’t last more than tonight”
(well, maybe, i know otherwise)
This won’t last more than tonight
Well, something tells me otherwise
